4-3-10 Basic Measurements
NOTE: The following instructions assume that you first scan the patient and then press Freeze.
4-3-10-1 Distance and Tissue Depth Measurements
1.) Press Measure once, an active caliper displays.
2.) To position the active caliper at the start point (distance) or the most anterior point (tissue
depth), move the Trackball.
3.) To fix the start point, press Set. The system fixes the first caliper and displays a second active
caliper.
4.) To position the second active caliper at the end point (distance) or the most posterior point
(tissue depth), move the Trackball.
5.) To complete the measurement, press Set. The system displays the distance or tissue depth
value in the measurement results window.
Before you complete a measurement:
To toggle between active calipers, press Cursor Select.
To erase the second caliper and the current data measured and start the measurement again, press
Clear once.
NOTE: To rotate through and activate previously fixed calipers, adjust Cursor Select.
NOTE: After you complete the measurement, to erase all data that has been measured to this point,
but not data entered onto worksheets, select Clear.
4-3-10-2 Circumference/Area (Ellipse) Measurement
1.) Press MEASURE once; an active caliper displays.
2.) To position the active caliper, move the TRACKBALL.
3.) To fix the start point, press SET. The system fixes the first caliper and displays a second active
caliper.
4.) To position the second caliper, move the TRACKBALL.
5.) Adjust the ELLIPSE; an ellipse with an initial circle shape appears.
NOTE: Be careful not to press the Ellipse control as this activates the Body Pattern.
6.) To position the ellipse and to size the measured axes (move the calipers), move the
TRACKBALL.
7.) To increase the size, adjust the ELLIPSE upward button. To decrease the size, adjust the
ELLIPSE downward button.
8.) To toggle between active calipers, press MEASURE.
9.) To complete the measurement, press SET. The system displays the circumference and area
in the measurement results window.
Before you complete a measurement:
- To erase the ellipse and the current data measured, press CLEAR once. The original caliper
is displayed to restart the measurement.
- To exit the measurement function without completing the measurement, press CLEAR a
second time.
