Estimating the term…
The use of menu branches associated with a patient's potential condition aids in the accuracy and efficiency of an ultrasound measurement system. The menu branches use a set of suggested measurements to produce results that allow for the evaluation of the potential condition of the patient. The set of suggested measurements can be less than all of the possible measurements for the calculation package. The user no longer has to skip through a large menu full of irrelevant measurement selections. For this reason, the user is less likely to skip pertinent measurements or do time consuming measurements which are irrelevant to evaluate the potential condition. The time savings is important since the user of the ultrasound measurement system may be under severe time pressure.
