Circumference and Area Measurement
▐ 2D Ellipse Measurement: measures elliptical objects
This measurement is available in all diagnosis modes. The measurement results are
displayed in cm or mm (circumference) or cm
2
or mm
2
(area). A maximum of four sets of
measurements can be displayed at one time. Average circumference and average area
are shown together. This tool is especially useful for bladder and prostate measurement.
The measurement formulas and methods are outlined below.

1. Press the Caliper button, and the currently selected measurement item appears on
the left side.
2. Select ‘2D Ellipse’ by pressing Flexible Soft button [2] Area/Circ or by pressing
Change or Caliper button several times.
3. Use the Trackball to position the cursor on the two points of the ellipse. Press the
Set button to fix the points.
4. Pressing the Change button before pressing Set button allows the measurement
area to be reset.
5. After the ellipse appears with the two points as an axis, adjust the shape (or another
axis) of the ellipse using the Trackball. Then, press the Set button.
6. After position setup, the measurement results are displayed on the screen.
7. A new cursor appears for a new measurement.
▐ 2D Trace Measurement: measures objects with an irregular shape
This measurement function is available in all diagnosis modes. The measurement results
are displayed in cm or mm (circumference) or cm
2
or mm
2
(area). A maximum of four sets
of measurements can be displayed at one time. Average circumference and average area
are shown together. The measurement formulas and methods are outlined here.
