13.4.4 Preparation before Needle Guidance
1. Scan the target tissue and adjust the image parameters.
2. Check the field strength to ensure that the filed strength indicator is . If the filed strength is
low, hold the probe and tap [Calibrate] on [NEEDLE] menu. Do not move the probe during the
calibration.
Low magnetic interference: appropriate for needle guidance;
Medium magnetic interference: be cautious for needle guidance;
High magnetic interference: do not perform needle guidance.
NOTE: before and during calibration, keep the probe away from the magnetic sources, such
as metal objects, electrical motors, switching power supplies, nerve stimulators and similar
medical devices.
3. Magnetize a needle cap.
