Auto IMT Measurements Analysis
1. Press Analysis to bring up the Analysis screen.
2. Select the desired analysis from Framingham/CHD, Risk Factor, Normal IMT, and User Graph by
using the trackball and the Set button.
X
A bar corresponding to the measurement result is displayed on each graph. However, no bar is
displayed if the measurement result is smaller than Framingham/CHD or Risk Factor.
Tips!
User Graph
You can use User Graph to adjust the graph and analyze the measurement results as you want.
3. To nish analysis, press Analysis again.
