Abstract The high‐resolution graphics facility of a microcomputer has been synchronized with real‐time ultrasound images on a television monitor, allowing quick and accurate measurements of linear distances, arc lengths, perimeter lengths, and areas, whether regular or irregular in shape. No particular knowledge of computers is required, as the program gives step‐by‐step directions. However, the full facilities of a 48K microcomputer using BASIC language remain accessible, which is a considerable advantage over equivalent measuring systems currently available.
