Instructions for Use 4 - 25
Performing Measurements and Calculations
The measurement function includes the measurements and calculations available for each
exam type and imaging mode. You can use the measurement function during a patient
examination or with stored images.
The ultrasound system contains measurements and calculations that are either standard for all
applications or particular to one application, such as OB. Calculations use formulas that require
specific measurements. The system automatically performs a calculation when the required
measurements have been completed.
To perform measurements:
Activate the measurement function.
● Press CALIPER.
○ For systems without a touch screen, press CALCS.
See also: For more information about measurements and calculations, refer to the Features and
Applications Reference manual.
Reviewing Images and Clips
You can review images stored during the current examination or previous examinations. All of
the stored images can be viewed, deleted, flagged for attention, and printed.
When you activate the review feature, the system displays all images stored for the current
study, including images stored and printed during previous examinations that are in the study
folder.
The patient name and patient ID for the currently displayed images are always displayed at the
top of the screen. During an examination (when a patient is registered), the system also
displays the current date and time at the top of the screen. During a review session (when
reviewing previous examinations), the system displays the study date and time instead of the
current date and time.
To activate the review function:
Press REVIEW.
