1. Measurement Functions 1-1.

Preface The measurement functions of the ProSound F75 are divided by application (clinical areas) into Abdomen, URO, Small Parts, OB, GYN, Cardio, Vascular and eTracking. The measurement values found in ultrasonic examination are recorded and managed for each patient. They are effective for evaluation of observation over time. In addition to selecting a measurement from the menu, you can also transfer the results of a basic measurement to an applied measurement and compute the results of applied measurement. Also, the available measurements depend on the application, so there are ultrasonic studies that bring together the measurement items for each application. Examples of studies for each application Application

[Remark] These application measurement functions are based on documents that indicate the clinical effectiveness of the measurements concerned. Consequently, they use measurement conditions and special computation formulas. The abovementioned documents are listed at the end of the section for each application measurement function, so refer to the relevant documents. [Remark] The application measurement functions of the ProSound F75 include a function called EXAM. HISTORY for performing a progress observation (development evaluation, treatment evaluation, and so on.). This function records and manages measurement values and operation index values obtained during various ultrasonic examinations, and displays the results as numerical values and/or graphs. For this reason, in order to use this function correctly, be sure to enter the patient data using the ID screen before performing an ultrasonic examination. The various measurement functions of the ProSound F75 diagnostic ultrasound system are described in the following sections. Section1 Section2 Section3 Section4 Section5

Display the measurement menu, and start the selected measurement.

(2)

Press the + switch to perform (basic) measurement.

[Remark] You can transfer the results obtained here to each parameter of the application measurement. Refer to Section 1-6."Executing the Application Measurement Using the Transfer Function". (3)

(2)

Select the basic measurement item which is carried out on the touch panel, and perform the measurement.

(3)

After measurement, to measure again, press the + switch. →

The last measurement is started.

[Remark] Pressing the CANCEL switch returns the system to the status before separation without finalizing the measured caliper mark. If the CANCEL switch is pressed before the caliper mark is separated, the mark is erased.

Starting measurement with a compound mode image

When pressing the + switch on hybrid modes (B/M and B/D modes), the measurement corresponding to each ultrasound image (B, M, and D) is performed. For example, for B/M mode as in the figure below, when the + switch is pressed, the caliper mark is displayed on the M image with a priority order (D → M → B). The caliper mark is moved to the B mode image side with the trackball. The moment at which the caliper mark is moved into the B mode image it becomes Dist. The measurement items and control menu display at the bottom of the screen also change to the B mode image.
