Probes and Biopsy

The biopsy needle appears to reach the target object in the image
Dispersion of the ultrasound beam
The biopsy needle may not have actually entered the target
object even though it appears to have done so on the
image. To avoid this problem, note points below:
z Do not rely only on the needle tip on the image. Pay
careful attention to that, when the biopsy needle comes
into the target object or contacts with it, the object should
shift slightly.
z Before you perform the biopsy, please evaluate the size
of the object and confirm if the biopsy can be carried out.
18.2.1 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).
