Rectangle
Toolbar > Measure > Rectangle. Measure a rectangle area, min, max, mean, and standard deviation values in HU:
Volume
Toolbar > Measure > Volume. Volume measurement using circles created from a set number of points:
Watch the video tutorial on how to measure the volume with DICOM Viewer:
Height Difference
Toolbar > Measure > Height Difference. Measure the vertical distance and angle between the horizontal line and the line connecting the points:
CTR (cardiothoracic ratio)
Toolbar > Measure > CTR (cardiothoracic ratio). CTR to measure a cardiothoracic ratio to estimate a heart size:
Watch the video tutorial on how to measure the cardiothoracic ratio with DICOM Viewer:
CTR measurement is used to measure the ratio of maximal horizontal cardiac diameter to maximal horizontal thoracic diameter and aids in the detection of enlargement of the cardiac silhouette.
Flatfoot
Toolbar > Measure > Flatfoot. Measure the longitudinal arch of the foot to detect the longitudinal flatfoot:
Foot longitudinal arch measurement is used to measure the angle and height of the foot medial longitudinal arch and aids in the detection of the longitudinal flatfoot.
Goniometry
Toolbar > Measure > Goniometry. Measure the lengths of the femur, tibia, and femoral-tibial angular deformities:
TT-TG Distance
Toolbar > Measure > TT-TG Distance. Measure the tibial tuberosity to trochlear groove distance for quantifying the knee patellar instability:
Vertebra Angle
Toolbar > Measure > Vertebra Angle. Measure an angle between the user-drawn vertebra axis and the horizontal axis of the image:
Spine labeling
Toolbar > Measure > Spine labeling. Tool to mark the vertebrae of the spine. Despite of labeling the spine, user also can:

NOTE: Double click to finish labeling.
Toolbar > Measure > Time-Intensity curve. The measurement allows for visualization of the lesions’ behavior by plotting the ROI intensity values over time after the administration of contrast material:
The Time-Intensity Curve ROIs and their information are not stored.
ROI
Toolbar > Measure > ROI. Mark and store ROI (Region Of Interest) for study instance:
Watch the video tutorial on how to mark and store the ROI with DICOM Viewer:
Toolbar > Measure > Closed Polygon. Tool is used to mark the region of interest. As in case of ROI, the area is marked by placing the points around it, but the points are connected with curved lines.
Draw Closed Polygon:

Continuous measurement
Toolbar > Measure > Continuous measurement. Possibility to activate the tool in order to repeat measurements several times:
Toolbar > Measure > Repulsor. The tool to adjust Closed Polygon. To adjust the image scale and position, and click the selected mouse button near the line from the side you want to push. Hold the selected mouse button pressed and drag the Repulsor tool towards the line:
The system automatically adjusts the Repulsor radius according to the distance from the line. You can change the radius by holding the CTRL button and scrolling mouse wheel.
