Risk Color Bar
This shows colors based on the thickness of the IMT. If the thickness is <= 0.5 mm, the entire bar
is shown in green. If the thickness is >= 1.1 mm, the entire bar is shown in red. For any thickness
between these values, it is shown in the corresponding color.
■
Ruler and Range Bar
Use the trackball and the Set button to specify the location and range at which IMT will be measured.
X Ruler: The grid unit is 10 mm. This option is used when a vessel is lying laterally. At the
measurement location, press the Set button to take IMT measurement at 10 mm intervals.
X Range Bar: This option is used when a vessel is not lying laterally, or when measuring the
length of a specic segment. Press and hold the Set button at the start point, and then drag
with the trackball to specify the end point.
