So here's a quick example of how to perform normal measurements within the
0:04
abdominal aorta. They are predominantly performed in this longitudinal axis here,
0:10
and they're performed perpendicular to the lumen.
0:13
They're done in the outer-to-outer measurement, so you can see we're going from the
0:17
outer portion superficial to the outer portion deep, and we are
0:23
most accurately representing this on longitudinal.
0:25
Now, we would also take transverse measurements to make sure that things are not
0:29
eccentric here. But for this patient, they had a very normal aorta, and so we were
0:33
able to get similar measurements, both in the proximal and mid, and then a little
0:38
bit smaller in the distal aorta. So again, you can see we are continuing to do the
0:42
outer-to-outer measurements as well.
