Ellipse+Dist Vol.
This is a basic measurement that is available in all diagnosis modes. Measure the volume of an
object by using one straight line and one circle (ellipse) on a 2D image.
1. Tap Ellipse+Dist Vol. on the touch screen. Specify the size of the circle (ellipse). This
measurement is taken in the same way as ‘Ellipse’.
2. Specify two points and measure the length of the straight line between the points. This
measurement is taken in the same way as ‘Distance’.
3. When the measurement has been taken, the result is shown on the screen.
The equation for measuring Ellipse+Dist Vol. is as follows:

Disk Volume
This is a basic measurement that is available in all diagnosis modes. Calculate the volume of an
irregularly shaped object by measuring the area and the length of its long axis on a 2D image.
1. Select Disk Volume on the monitor or touch screen. Draw the contour of the area to be
measured. This measurement is taken in the same way as ‘Trace’.
2. Measure the length of the long axis. This measurement is taken in the same way as ‘Distance’.
3. When the measurement has been taken, the result is shown on the screen.
