The first one is frequency, 4.0 megahertz.  It applies obviously to the technical specs of the ultrasound itself.  Maybe the others are also technical information regarding the machine or the specifications of the picture-taking, like f-stops are in photography.

Gn could be "gain" and D could be "diameter" or maybe "depth", not sure but I do think they are all just technical specs like AnnieBrooke said on how the ultrasound is set up.  And nothing to do your measurements.
