7-2 Vascular
7.3 Vascular Measurement Tools
Vascular measurements are mainly used for carotid, cerebral, upper and lower extremities vessels.
The system supports the following 2D and Doppler vascular measurements.
NOTE: Measurement tools mentioned below are configured in the system. The application
measurement packages provided in this system are generally different combinations of
measurement tools.

Calculation
Stenosis D Stenosis Diameter
Stenosis D (No unit) = (Normal Diam(cm) –
Resid Diam (cm)) / Normal Diam (cm) ×
100%
Stenosis D (No unit) = |(D1-D2)/MAX
(D1,D2)|*100%
Where, D1 and D2 refers to the measured
vascular diameter, and MAX(D1,D2)
represents the larger value of the two.
Stenosis A Stenosis Area
Stenosis A (No unit) = |(A1-A2)/MAX
(A1,A2)|*100%
Where, A1 and A2 refers to the measured
vascular area, and MAX(D1,D2)
represents the larger value of the two.
