The second is the Ultrasound functionality. Ultrasound machines are able to calculate the cross sectional area of the antrum; however, it does not provide a tool to calculate the gastric fluid volume. The Skantrix Gastric Ultrasound Application which included a fluid volume calculator, will provide an easy free tracing tool for the Antrum and calculates the volume.
