Measurements
The following table shows available measurements
for IMT calculations. The IMT measurement names
are specified on the IMT setup page. See “IMT
Calculations setup” on page 20.
To calculate IMT automatically
1 On a frozen 2D image, press the CALCS key.
2 From the calculations menu, select the
measurement.
3 Using the touchpad or arrow keys, position the
IMT tool over the area of interest until the
measurement results appear.
4 Adjust the tool, and edit as needed. See “IMT
tool controls” on page 64.
5 Save the calculation. (See “To save a
calculation” on page 47.)
WARNING:
To avoid incorrect calculations,
verify that the patient information,
date, and time settings are
accurate.
WARNING:
To avoid misdiagnosis or harming
the patient outcome, start a new
patient information form before
starting a new patient exam and
performing calculations. Starting a
new patient information form
clears the previous patient’s data.
The previous patient’s data will be
combined with the current patient
if the form is not first cleared. See
“To create a new patient
information form” on page 36.
