VTI measurement with automatic frequency trace
When you want to measure VTI over a series of cycles, use the automatic
frequency trace feature to instantly plot the caliper points on your frequency
waveform before you apply the VTI measurement.
f To place a VTI measurement with automatic frequency trace:
1. While you view a saved image from the Study Browser or an image that is
acquired but not stored during an image acquisition session, press
Measure
and toggle to view the measurement tools panel.
2. Select the appropriate auto trace option in the Peak or Mean drop-down
boxes as described in Applying automatic traces to the frequency waveform (page
267).
IMPORTANT You must select a Peak and Mean option other than none to activate
the auto-trace functionality for an acquired image.
3. Click the VTI button . The system highlights the button until you complete
your measurement.
4. Along the frequency baseline click on the beginning of a cardiac cycle
waveform to place the initial caliper, then click at the end of the cycle
waveform.
5. Continue adding points at the start and end of cardiac cycle waveforms until
you have selected the range of cycles you want to measure.
6. Right-click to apply your final caliper at the end of the last cycle.
7. The system plots individual caliper points along the range. If you selected the
Show Values and Labels option in the Measurements tab of the Preferences
window, the system displays the measurement value and editable label for
the measurement VTI #, where # is a sequential number.
8. If you want to rename the label and you have selected Show Values and
Labels in the Measurement tab of the Preferences window, type a new name
while the label text is selected, and then click outside the label to commit the
label.
9. If you have selected Show Values and Labels in the Measurement tab of the
Preferences window and you want to move the measurement or move the
label, select either item and then drag and drop it.
