8.2 Application Measurements
Application Measurements have a pre-defined meaning and can be entered into a report. The system
supports the following application measurement packages, each with its own set of measurements,
calculations and report:
 OB (including multiple fetuses)
 Abd
 Vascular
 Cardiac
 Gynecology
 Small Parts
 Urology
 Pediatric(including Neonatal)
When you select an application measurement from the touch screen it will automatically invoke the
type of measurement it needs. For example, if you select “BPD” from the OB application it will
automatically invoke a distance measurement. These measurements generally behave as described
above for generic measurements. When the measurement is complete, the measurement results will
enter into the report automatically.
Some application measurements can have multiple variations. For example, in a twin OB exam the
OB measurements can be done on either fetus. As another example, in Vascular exams several
measurements can be done in a Proximal, Mid, or Distal location. When a measurement has multiple
variations you will see paddle keys on the touch screen that let you pick which variation you are
measuring.
Please refer to the Advanced User Manual for the calculation formulas and references.
