13 Probes and Biopsy
a. Hold the transducer. Press the biopsy needle pressure position to separate the biopsy
needle from the pressure position. Separate the bracket and the transducer from the
needle.
Rotate the locking nuts of the needle guided-bracket at the right and left sides (following the
direction of the arrow). The needle guided-bracket is separate from the transducer. Hold the
transducer and take out the bracket.
13.2.3 Verifying the Biopsy Guide Line
• Prior to each biopsy procedure, be sure to verify the guide line.
• If the needle is not consistent with the guide line, DO NOT perform the
biopsy procedure.
You can perform guide line verification on a single live B/C image, and all biopsy-irrelevant
operations are forbidden.
Adjusting the needle mark is necessary before each biopsy procedure.
Perform the following procedure:
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 probe in the sterile water and place a biopsy needle in the needle guide.
4. When the biopsy needle appears on the image, confirm that the biopsy needle is displayed at
almost the same position as the selected needle mark.
5. Enter Biopsy.
– Select the biopsy bracket angle/guide line: If the needle-guided bracket supports more
than one biopsy angle, select the angle/guideline by using [Biopsy Kit].
– Select the guide line dot size by using [Dot Size].
NOTE:
• The distance between two dots is depth-dependent. Move the cursor over the big dot
and a numeral, representing the biopsy depth, is displayed.
• The biopsy guidezone adjusts along with image adjustments, such as image inversion/
rotations, zoom and depth changes.
13.2.4 Starting the biopsy procedure
• Ensure that all guide parts are properly fixed prior to performing a biopsy.
• If you changed the probe or needle-guided bracket during the biopsy, verify
the guide line again.
• Failure to match the guide zone displayed to the guide may cause the
needle to track a path outside the zone.
