Using Measuring Tools

When important details are found in an image, it is useful to mark that information for future viewing. Furthermore, it can be very helpful in outlining a diagnosis described in a physician's report.

Measuring tools help you mark important information. The Angle tool allows you to measure an angle between any two artifacts on an image.

It is used by placing three points on the image. The first point is the apex of the angle. The next two are the end points.

The Measure Distance tool is used to measure the distance between any two points on the image. A sample image with the measurement is shown below.
