replayed at any time using the Help pull down menu.

edge to measure the height.
9. Similarly, place your finger on the left edge and swipe to the right edge to
measure the width.

Notes: Quality images are obtained through a combination of proper probe
placement, orientation, pressure, and adequate ultrasound gel.
Please refer to the included reference images to learn what can be obtained with
proper ultrasound technique.
A short video describing the proper technique can be viewed by single tapping
the displayed Full Bladder Reference image.
You can practice imaging your own bladder to develop the correct technique.
Drink plenty of water prior to imaging your bladder, as a full bladder is easier to
see. An empty bladder can be difficult to image.
