Rotate the probe 90° between views. Aim to visualize the maximum dimensions in each plane. Freeze the Image at the Largest Diameter Once the full cyst is visualized: Freeze the image when the cyst appears largest and clearest. Ensure the walls are fully visualized and not cut off. Measure in 2 or 3 Dimensions Measure in 3 orthogonal planes: Length (L): Longest measurement in the sagittal/longitudinal plane. Height (H): Anterior-posterior measurement in the same plane. Width (W): Transverse measurement in the axial plane. Measurement Tips: Use calipers from inner wall to inner wall (not outer to outer). Place calipers perpendicular to the walls. Round to the nearest millimeter (mm) or one decimal point in cm. Avoid oblique measurements unless the anatomy necessitates it. You can measure the height in the transverse plane along with the width, and measure the length in the longitudinal plane, depending on the orientation of the cyst and institutional protocol. This is also acceptable in many clinical scenarios, especially if: The cystic lesion is well visualized in transverse plane. The height is more clearly defined in the transverse plane. Institutional or practical reasons favor this orientation. Calculating Approximate Volume: Approximate Volume = L x W x H/2
