Performing Exams Probe Usage in Scanning
Marker Alignment
There is a marker at the end of the Accutome B-Scan
Plus probe, the Accutome logo, (refer to Figure 2 on
page 21 of this manual) that indica
tes the direction of the
"slice" being imaged by the probe. See Figure 89 below
for examples of the marker positioning for a vertical and
a horizo
ntal slice.
You must know where the slice is being directed at all
ti
mes to produce an accurate scan. In Figure 89 below
there are two very different slices with the same probe
posi
tion; the marker is rotated from a vertical slice
position to a horizontal slice position. The slice positions
when defining a probe view are indicated as hours on the
face of a clock.
