Measurement and Analysis

Performing an Exam
NOTE
If you attempt to capture a loop that was imported from media, only a frame of the loop is
captured and displayed in the appending exam.
Measurement and Analysis
The measurement tools appear on the touch screen. Touching a tool label on the touch screen
launches the tool. (The labels of inactive tools are gray.)
A calculations package contains one or more collections that organize groups, measurements,
and calculations into a coherent tool for diagnostic analysis.
Measurement tools provide measurements and derived calculations. Various methods are
available for generating results. The two primary methods allow you to "measure then label" or
"label then measure." Either way, the results can appear on the display, on printed pages, and
in patient reports, where they are available for your analysis.
The Analysis setups provide the configuration capability that allows you to create your own calc
lists, including collections, groups, measurements, and calculations. In addition, the
measurements and calculations can be associated with system and custom tables and
equations.
The ultrasound system supports a number of measurement and quantification methods. The
basic measurements report the size, speed, or duration of image data. The image data may be
contained in a 2D ultrasound image, a Physio region, an M-mode trace, or a Doppler spectral
trace. The accuracy of the measurement depends, in part, on the ability of the operator.
Measurements are available if the image scaling data is available. This prevents measurements
on Doppler or M-mode still images in Review that do not include scaling information in the
trace data, or on imported image loops that use different scaling parameters.
Measurements must be labeled for the results to appear in patient reports. Unlabeled
measurements appear in the results but are not retained, unless they are associated with a
labeled measurement.
