The Measure function lets you perform measurements on a live or frozen image. The Measure
function is invoked by pressing the Measure hard key on the console. Figure 7-3 shows an
example touch screen for Measure.
There are two types of measurements:
Generic Measurements: These are simple tools like Distance or Area. There is no specific
anatomy associated with these measurements and they do not appear in a report.
Application Measurements: These are measurements for specific anatomy or clinical conditions.
The results can be entered into a report that can be printed later.
On the Measure touch screen the lower part of the touch screen shows Generic Measurements.
These are different for each imaging mode, but are the same for all presets. The upper part of the
touch screen shows Application Measurements. These are different for each imaging mode and
each preset. See section 8 for details on how to configure these.

Some measurements can be done with a choice of different tools, and each tool has a choice of
multiple output result items. The users can configure the default tool and result items for these
measurements by Tool Options. For result options, at least one item should be selected.
