Probes and Biopsy 13-19
13.2.1 Needle-guided Brackets
A needle-guided bracket is available for purchase as an optional accessory; it is used in combination
with the probe. Some of the probes have matched needle-guided bracket and needles. To order
needle-guided brackets, contact MINDRAY Customer Service Department or sales representative.
For biopsy or treatment, ultrasound-guided biopsy procedures can be performed using the probe in
combination with a needle-guided bracket (optional accessory) and a biopsy needle (provided by the
user).
