US Region Recalibration Module

US Calibration Module is available for all US studies with a set region identified in the DICOM tag. This feature presents physical information of multiple regions in a region independent of each other. This module in the viewer allows the user to make different measurements within a single US study that contains multiple data regions as you see here:

USRegionRecalModule1

When a user opens such a study like this, they will be able to draw line measurements (like above) to capture the specific type of data within each region. Additionally, they will be able to edit/delete said measurements (as you would a regular line measurement) as well as save them.

note

Viewer will block any measurements drawn across the different regions.

info

Refer to the DICOM Standard for more information on this module.
