Exam Types
Before You Begin
The information in this user guide may not correspond to the exam types on your
system as Exam Types can be customized.
Before reading about the Exam Types, you should already be familiar with:
•
Working with images on the system (Chapter 4, “Working with the Image”).
•
Making measurements with the system (Chapter 5, “Making Measurements”).
•
Documenting the image and its results (Chapter 6, “Documentation”).
The tables and formulas that the system uses for calculations are in the Technical
Data (BZ2100) .
If You Perform a Puncture Procedure
Before you perform any puncture procedure, including therapy, make sure you have
read the warnings in the Puncture and Brachytherapy section of the Safety chapter
in the bkSpecto User Guide.
What Is an Exam Type?
An Exam Type is a pre-defined configuration for the layout and user interface of the
monitor. There are different Exam Types for different types of examinations.
Your choice of Exam Type determines:
•
Patient information fields needed for the examination
•
Specialized presets
•
Layout of buttons on the touchscreen (including which buttons are available)
•
Labels and bodymarks
•
Reports
•
Measuring tools and predefined calculations
WARNING P-w1
Before you start imaging, verify that the type number or name of the transducer and the
type number or description of the needle guide you are using match the number
displayed on the monitor. Also make sure that the needle guide is positioned correctly. If
the numbers do not match, or if the needle guide position is not correct, the puncture line
on the monitor may not correspond to the true puncture path in the tissue. In case of any
inconsistency, stop imaging, turn off the system, and contact your BK service
representative.
