12.2.5 Verify Biopsy Guide Line
WARNING:
1.
Prior to each biopsy procedure, be sure to verify the guide
line.
2.
If the needle is not consistent with the guide line, DO NOT
perform the biopsy procedure.
NOTE:
1.
You can perform guide line verification on a single live B image only, and all
biopsy-irrelevant operations are forbidden.
2.
For bi-planar probe applied biopsy, the verification is performed on the first
guide line, the other guide lines can move together with the first one in
parallel.
1. Confirm that the needle-guided bracket has been installed securely in the correct position.
2. Prepare a container filled with sterile water.
3. Place the head of the transducer in the sterile water, and get a biopsy needle into the
needle guide.
4. When the biopsy needle appears on the image, please adjust the parameters of the
menu on the screen to make the biopsy needle is displayed at almost the same position
as the selected needle mark.
