Note

To calculate the distances IVSd, IVSs, LVDd, LVDs, LVPWd, LVPWs and RVDd in 2D mode:
1. Press the [Calc] key on the control panel.
2. Select the item [LV].
3. Select the desired measurement parameter. For example: select [IVSd].
4. Use the trackball to move the cursor to the start point of the measurement and press the
right or left trackball key [Set] to fix the marker. A second cursor appears.
5. Move the second cursor to the second point of the measurement and press [Set] again.
To re-adjust the start point, press the upper trackball key [Change] before completing the
measurement. This alternates the control from one cursor to the other.
6. Measure the next distance in the same manner (and so on).
Finish either all of the diastolic or all of the systolic measurements first and deactivate the
cursor by pressing the [Pointer] hardkey. Pressing the upper trackball key allows for accessing
the cine memory. Scroll to either the appropriate systolic or diastolic image.
This is used for the measurement of the Left Ventricular volume and mass. It is correctly
measured only during the diastolic phase (LV expanded).
