    Cardiology Exam Preparation
    Introduction
    Measurements and calculations derived from ultrasound images 
    are intended to supplement other clinical procedures available 
    to the attending physician. The accuracy of measurements is not 
    only determined by the system accuracy, but also by use of 
    proper medical protocols by the user. When appropriate, be sure 
    to note any protocols associated with a particular measurement 
    or calculation. Formulas and databases used within the system 
    software that are associated with specific investigators are so 
    noted. Be sure to refer to the original article describing the 
    investigators recommended clinical procedures.
    General Guidelines
    New Patient information must be entered before beginning an 
    exam. See ‘Beginning a New Patient’ for more information.
    Any measurement can be repeated by selecting that 
    measurement again from the Touch Panel Menu.

    Cardiology Measurements
    Overview
    Cardiology measurements offer two different types of 
    measurement studies, Generic and Cardiac. 
    •  Generic – Each exam category has a Generic study. The 
    Generic studies provide you quick access to measurements 
    such as volume, angle, A/B ratio, and % stenosis. For 
    details on most of the generic measurements, See ‘Generic 
    Measurements’ for more information. This chapter includes 
    a section describing generic measurements that are specific 
    to the cardiac exam category.
    •  Cardiac – This study includes all cardiac measurements.

    Naming Format for Cardiac Measurements
    When you make a measurement, on the Touch Panel you select 
    the abbreviation for the measurement. Most abbreviations are 
    made using acronyms. The following table lists acronyms used 
    for naming cardiac measurements.

    Cardiac Measurements
    This section lists cardiac measurements and the steps to 
    perform them. The measurement information in this section is 
    organized by mode, then by region of interest, and then by type 
    of measurement. The organization is as follows:
    •  Mode; there is a section for B-Mode, M-Mode, Color Flow 
    Mode, and Doppler Mode. There is also a Combination 
    Mode section, which includes calculations that are a result 
    of measurements made in more than one mode.
    •  Within each mode section, there are sections for region of 
    interest, such as aorta or mitral valve.
    •  Within each region of interest section, there are sections for 
    type of measurement, such a one distance, two distance, 
    trace, or velocity flow trace. Each measurement type section 
    lists all cardiac measurements that are that type, and then 
    describes the steps to perform that type of measurement.
    Some measurements, such as Aortic Root Diameter or Aortic 
    Valve Cusp Separation, can be made in B-Mode or M-Mode. 
    The information for these measurements is included in both B-
    Mode and M-Mode sections.
