8-4 Measurement
8.3 Application Measurement
The system support following measurement types:
Abdomen measurements - Used for measurements of abdominal organs (liver, gall
bladder, pancreas and kidney, etc.) and large abdominal vessels.
OB measurements- Used for measurements of fetal growth indexed (including EFW) as
well as GA and EDD calculations. The fetus can be evaluated through growth graph
analysis and fetal biophysical profile.
Cardiac measurements- Used for left ventricle function measurements and
measurements of main artery and vein parameters, etc.
Gynecology measurements - Used for the uterus, ovary and follicles, etc.
Small Part measurements – Used for small parts such as thyroid.
Urology measurements - Used for prostate, seminal vesicle, renal, adrenal, micturated
and testicle volume.
Vascular measurements – Used for carotid, cerebral, upper and lower extremities vessels,
etc.
Pediatric measurements - Used for hip joint measurement.
Nerve measurements – Used for nerve structure measurements.
Emergency measurements - Used for emergency abdomen, obstetric, superficial etc.
