Brachy Ruler with Sagittal Plane Imaging
You can set up the system so that a brachy ruler is displayed when you image in the
sagittal plane with the E14CL4b transducer, in situations where a brachy matrix
appears in the transverse imaging view.
Figure 8-5. A split-screen view with transverse brachy matrix above and sagittal brachy ruler
below. Ruler has vertical line to mark 0.
The sagittal brachy ruler is sometimes displayed with a 2-dimensional grid, to make
it easier for you to see the horizontal position of the needle no matter where it is in
the vertical direction.
To move the ruler to the left or right:
1
Open the Needle Guide setting as described in “Needle Guide Tab” on page 140.
2
Use the pointer to tap on the dropdown menu for Move left/right .
3
Select your preferred value and check Display ruler on sagittal views .
The vertical line disappears and the ruler markers appear in their new positions.
NOTE:
By checking Display vertical line with sagittal ruler , y ou can set up the system
so that a vertical 0 line is always visible, along with the markers as shown in Fig 8-5.
User-Definable Brachy Matrix and Ruler
You can also define your own brachy matrix and ruler. See “Needle Guide Tab” on
page 140 in the Setup and Customizing chapter.
