Circumference and Area Measurement
2D Ellipse
This is a basic measurement that is available in all diagnosis modes. You can measure the circumference
and area of a circular (elliptical) object in a 2D image.
You can measure up to 4 distances. When taking more than one measurement, use measurement cursors
with dierent shapes to dierentiate them.
1. Press the Softmenu button [2] Area / Circ to select 2D Ellipse. “2D Ellipse” is displayed on the left side
of the screen.
2. Use the trackball and the Set button on the control panel to specify the diameter (axis) of the meas-
urement area.
▶
Place the cursor at a desired position with the trackball, and press the Set button.
Tips!
Repositioning Point
Pressing the Change button before pressing the Set button to complete positioning resets the
position of a point just set.
3. Specify the size of the circle (ellipse).
▶
Adjust the size using the trackball, and press the Set button.
4. When the measurement is nished, its result is shown on the screen.
▶
Circ.: Circumference of Object
▶
Area: Area of Object
▶
Avg.(C): Average Circumference
▶
Avg.(A): Average Area
The equations used for ellipse measurement are as follows:
, (A: Long axis, B: Short axis)
Area
= , (a, b: Axis)
