How To Use The Measurement Tool

To measure objects in an image, users can calibrate using the ruler tool or by aligning a known object. Measurements are then taken accurately. Annotations with measurements can be saved and adjusted for visibility, and hidden or displayed as needed.

Step 1: Open the Image

  • Start by opening the image you wish to measure.

Step 2: Choose Calibration Method

  • Click on the ruler tool for automatic calibration based on the image's sensor.
  • Alternatively, click the calibrate button to generate your own calibration using a known object in the image.

Step 3: Specify Calibration

  • If using the calibrate option, specify a known object's size, such as a 10 millimeter endo file.

Step 4: Align Object

  • Line up the specified object within the image for calibration purposes.

Step 5: Confirm Calibration

  • Click the calibrate button and confirm the dialogue to finalize the calibration.

Step 6: Take Measurements

  • Measure the desired objects in the image.
  • Save annotations containing measurements by clicking the save button.

Step 7: Adjust Annotation

  • Move the measurement value to ensure it does not obstruct important anatomy.

Step 8: Hide or Reveal Annotations

  • Once saved, annotations can be hidden or revealed using the hide button as needed.
