5-120 Image Optimization
with a certain plane of CT/MR image, the Ultrasound System receives the probe position information
from “positioning (probe) sensor”. The Ultrasound System shows the CT/MR image aligned with the
ultrasound image in account of the magnetic spatial navigation function.
Lesion Viewing and Marking: to show the lesions marked on the ultrasonic planes, the ultrasound image
and CT/MR image are displayed simultaneously via the spatial positioning device based on the old
lesion marks on CT/MR image. The lesion marks on CT/MR image appear on the ultrasound image in
real time. It helps the doctor spot the old lesion mark and perform the surgical plan to the tumor ablation.
Clinical applications: the lesions not-easily-detected in the ultrasonic exams; the panorama of the large
lesion not-fully-displayed in therapeutic ultrasound; surgical operations to tumor ablation; biopsy and
ablation to the liver neoplasms (enabled in the biopsy to renal tumor, lung neoplasms and prostate).
Note
1.
Fusion imaging is an optional function. Configure “Fusion (software optional)”, “Fusion
RESP (software optional)”, “Fusion Imaging Kit (hardware optional)”, Motion Sensor
Support (hardware optional) first before conduct the Fusion Imaging exam. See also
Chapter 2.4.3 Options for details.
2. Only the probe C5-1U/SC8-2U/SC5-1U/SP5-1U/SC6-1U/L14-5WU/L11-3U/C4-1U
supports Fusion Imaging in B/Color/Power/Contrast mode (non-cardiac contrast
mode).
WARNING
The Fusion Imaging is contraindicated to the person wearing
the internal pacemaker, cochlear implant or nerve stimulator.
People wearing the implant or intra-corporeal devices
should keep one-meter away when the magnetic generator
starts working.
5.17.2 Magnetic Navigator
Note:
Place the set of the magnetic navigator away from the electromagnetic
interference sources, such as power filter, signal indication, magnetically
activated metal materials, cell phone in the use of the devices.
Connect the magnetic navigator when the magnetic navigation controller is
OFF.
Exit Fusion imaging before reconnecting/disconnecting sensor from the
magnetic navigation controller. Turn off the magnetic navigation controller
before connecting/disconnecting connecting generator.
Plug the auxiliary output power supply cable, data cable, magnetic generator and sensor to the magnetic
navigator respectively following the arrow
’s guide.
