Performing A 2D Distance Measurement - Philips EPIQ 7 User Manual

Performing an Exam Measurement and Analysis
Labeled measurements and calculations are stored in the patient data and report. The
information is labeled according to the measurement or calculation label. Within the report,
the information is organized by the calculations package. The values displayed can be the
results of multiple measurements.
Calculations packages are system options that are associated with transducers and presets. A
calculations package contains one or more collections that organize measurements and
calculations into a coherent tool for diagnostic analysis. The Calc Package tab provides access
to the various measurements and calculations in the available calculations packages.
The measurements and their derived calculations included with the calculations packages are
based on medical references. See the "References" section in the Help.
NOTE
Ensure that you follow current medical practices when identifying specific measurement points
on an image.

Performing a 2D Distance Measurement

A 2D distance measurement uses two calipers to measure the length of a straight line between
the two points. You can set the display of the line in the setups.
NOTE
The left and right trackball buttons can each be set to one of three measurement operations:
End Measurement, Toggle, or Next Measurement.
1. Obtain the 2D image you want to measure and press Freeze.
2. Press or touch Measure.
3. Press or touch Measure, and then touch Tools.
4. Touch Distance.
5. Use the trackball to position the caliper for the first end point and click to anchor it.
6. Use the trackball to position the caliper for the second end point. The results update as the
distance between the calipers changes.
