1. MEASUREMENT FUNCTIONS
1-1.
Preface
The measurement functions of the SSD-ALPHA10 are divided by application (clinical area) into Abdomen, OB,
GYN, Cardio, Vascular, URO, eTRACKING, and Small Parts.
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.

[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 SSD-ALPHA10 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 SSD-ALPHA10 ultrasonic diagnostic instrument are described in the following sections.

Flow of Measurement Operations
Select the
application.
(1)
Input the patient
information.
(2)
Select the
ultrasonic study.
(3)
Execute the
measurement.
→
Input the patient information with the New Patient (ID) screen in order to
correctly operate the patient management functions effectively for evaluating observations over time.
For details, refer to Section 1 How to Use.
Select the ultrasonic study.
→
(4)
In order to obtain correct ultrasonic measurement results, the computation
equations and patient management database are decided according to the
application selected.
Input the patient information.
→
The measurement functions that can be executed are determined by the selected ultrasonic examination study.
Refer to Section 1-5-1. “When the measurement Study is changed”
Execute the measurement.
→
(5)
Report
Select the preset application (clinical area).
The measurement values are updated in real time until the measurement
operation is finalized.
Up to 10 caliper marks can be displayed in the measurement results display
area.
Section 1-4-1-1. “Starting from the + switch”.
Section 1-4-1-3. “Starting from the MEASUREMENT switch”.
Section 1-4-1-4. “Starting from a Hot key”.
Report
→
The measurement values displayed on the report screen can be set with the
preset function to either the most recent values or an average.
Also, up to six of these measurement values can be preset for each measurement item.
(For an explanation of each item, see the pages for each application.)
[Remark]
The SSD-ALPHA10 has the following three functions for recording the results of examinations.
a.
When operation (4) above is performed and a report is displayed, it is recorded by the recording device (thermal printer) connected to the SSD-ALPHA10.
b.
The report can be printed on paper using to Printer in the Output function of the Report screen.
c.
The measurement results can be transmitted to the application software of an external personal computer using to PC in the Output function of the Report screen.

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.

Executing the Application Measurement Using the Transfer Function
The copying function is a function to transcribe fundamental measurement results to various application
measurements and to register the report.
Various application measurements can be completed without executing the application measurement through the
measurement menu by carrying out the basic measurement with the + switch and using the transfer function.
The case that was transcribed of basic measurement results that was transferred to an Uterus measurement of
a gynecologic measurement is explained as an example.
(1)
Measure with the Distance of the basic measurement, and select the Transfer on the touch panel.

The measurement menu of GYN (Gynecologic measurement) is displayed.
Select the Uterus on the menu.

The measurement results of (1) are transferred to the Length of an Uterus measurement.
After these operations are repeated for A-P and Width, the Uterus measurements can be finished.
[Remark]
When there are multiple measurement results, move the arrow to the measurement results that are wanted for transfer, and select the transfer address on the touch panel.
[Remark]
The number displayed, on the list of transferred items is the number of reports which were registered.
[Remark]
When a transferred item different from the measurement method of the basic measurement results is selected,
it cannot be transferred.
In that case, when a message is displayed, select the transferred item once again.
<Already measured value reuse function>
The value measured at one location can be used for other application measurement.
The explanation below uses an example in which gynecological uterus measurements of Length and A-P have
already been measured.

The measurement procedure of the Caliper method
In this type of measurement, the start and end points of the measurement are set using the two caliper marks, and the
distance, time, blood flow velocity and also the index values that use these parameters (depth, circumferential length,
flow velocity ratio, pressure gradient, and so on.) are obtained.
(1)
Using the trackball, move the mark to the start point of the measurement.
(2)
Press the ENTER switch.
→
The measurement start point mark is fixed.
(3)
Using the trackball, move the separated mark to the end
point of measurement.
(4)
Once again press the ENTER switch.
→
You can switch between the start and end point
marks, and adjust the position of each mark using
the trackball.
[Remark]
When the CANCEL switch or the ch switch on the touch panel
is pressed, the mark returns to the state of (1) so that the measurement can be started again.
(5)
Press the
→
switch.
Measurement is finalized.
[Remark]
If you press the + switch without pressing the

Method of performing a measurement using Ellipse
In this type of measurement an ellipse is displayed, and the area, circumferential length, and length of the major and
minor axes are obtained.
(1)
Using the trackball, move the mark to one end (start point) of the major axis.
(2)
Press the ENTER switch.
→
The measurement start mark is fixed.
(3)
Using the trackball, move the separated mark to the other end (end point) of the part to be measured.
(4)
Once again press the ENTER switch.

(5)
An ellipse (Major axis diameter : Minor axis diameter is 2 : 1) is displayed.
Using the trackball, determine the position of the ellipse
by enlarging or reducing the minor axis diameter.
[Remark]
If you press the ENTER switch at this point in time, you can use
the trackball to adjust the position of each point.
Each time you press the ENTER switch, the point that you can
move with the trackball switches over in the sequence a → b →
c → b → a, enabling you to adjust the position of each point.
[Remark]
When the CANCEL switch or the ch switch on the touch panel
is pressed, the mark returns to the state of (1) so that the measurement can be started again.

switch.
Measurement is finalized.
[Remark]
If you press the + switch without pressing the
switch, a new
mark will be displayed, enabling you to continue the measurement. In this case, the previous measurement will be finalized.
[Remark]
The formulas for calculating area and circumferential length are
shown below.
Use the symbols in Fig.1 to define each operation index as
shown below.
X - ax : Distance between a and b
y - ax : Distance between c and c
As a result, the area and circumferential length are as follows.
Area = π /4 (X-ax) × (Y-ax)
Circ = π √ {[(X-ax)2 + (Y-ax)2] / 2}
