Stenosis Measurement
You can measure the stenosis of each blood vessel system by measuring and calculating an area or
distance.
%Stenosis(A)
Measures the area of the inner wall and the outer wall of the blood vessel. %Stenosis(A) stands
for Stenosis Area.
1. Select the %Stenosis(A) menu and the rst cursor will appear in 2D Mode.
2. Measure the area of the vessel’s outer wall using the Circ/Area measurement method.
3. When the second cursor appears, measure the area of the stenosed vessel’s inner wall.
%Stenosis (A) = (Outer Area – Inner Area) / Outer Area x 100
%Stenosis(D)
Measure the diameter of the blood vessel. Stenosis(D) stands for Stenosis Distance.
1. Select the %Stenosis(D) menu and the rst cursor will appear in 2D Mode.
2. Measure the total diameter of a vessel using the Distance measurement method.
3. When the second cursor appears, measure the diameter of the vessel’s inner wall under
stenosis.
%Stenosis (D) = (Outer Distance – Inner Distance) / Outer Distance x 100
