Chapter 5 Measurements and Calculations
Trace
This is a basic measurement that is available in all diagnosis modes. You can measure the circumference and
area of an irregular object in a 2D image.
1.
Select the
Soft Menu
[2]
Trace. “Trace”
is displayed in the user information area.
2.
Use the
Trackball
and the
Set
button on the control panel to specify the start point for tracing over the
contour of the measurement area.
X Place the cursor at a desired position with the
Trackball
, and press the
Set
button.
3.
Trace the curve so that the measurement cursor returns to the start point, and then press the
Set
button.
NOTE: Trace lines must be closed. If you press the Set button before tracing is complete, tracing
may be done over a straight line between the current point and the start point, resulting in a
significant error.
4.
When the measurement is nished, its result is shown on the screen.
The equations used for Trace measurement are as follows:
sum
(N = 1,2… last point)
(N = 1,2… last point)

%StA
StA stands for Stenosis Area, which is a basic measurement available in all diagnosis modes. In a 2D image,
the area of a vessel is measured and the stenosis ratio (%) calculated.
1.
Sele

.
%StA will ap
pear in the user information area.
2.
Measure the area of the vessel outer wall using the Area measurement method.
3.
When a new cursor appears, measure the inner wall area of the vessel under stenosis.
4.
Calculate %StA with the following equation:
%StA = (Outer Area – Inner Area) / Outer Area × 100
