Measurement main screen display is divided into three fields:
Field 1: Displays measurement labels and attributes:

The second and third line display the attributes of Application measurement: Left, Right, Proximal,
Mid, Distal, Fetus A, Fetus B, Fetus C, Fetus D, etc. For example, in Carotid exams, IMT
measurements can be done for right or left carotid; in Abdomen exams, measurements can be
done for right or left kidney; in Vascular exams several measurements can be done in a Proximal,
Mid, or Distal location; in a twin OB exam the OB measurements can be done on either fetus.
Field 2:Displays measurement groups.
All the measurement items supported by this ultrasound system are categorized into different
groups based on clinic applications, which facilitates locating the desired measurement item on
the main screen and touch screen. The measurement groups vary with the current active
application measurement package or generic measurements. The measurement groups included
in each application measurement package are configurable in Measure Setup (See section 10.4).
Selecting one measurement group will show its associated measurement items below in Field 3.
Field 3: Displays measurement items.
This field displays all currently available measurement items of the selected measurement group.
The measurement items included in each measurement group are configurable in Measure Setup
(See section 10.4). Select one measurement item, and then measuring operations are allowed on
the ultrasound image.
