17 Probes and Biopsy
17.1.2 Orientation of the Ultrasound Image and the Probe
The orientation of the ultrasound image and the probe are shown as below. The “M” side of the
ultrasound image on the monitor corresponds to the mark side of the probe. Check the orientation
before the examination (Using a linear probe as an example).
17.1.3 Procedures for Operating
Disinfect the probe and sterilize the needle-guided bracket before and after an
ultrasound-guided biopsy procedure is performed. Failure to do so may cause
the probe and the needle-guided bracket becomes a source of infection.
4. Probe head Converts the electrical signal into an ultrasonic signal, focusing the
sound beams in a given direction; meanwhile, it receives the reflected
ultrasonic signal and converts it into an electrical signal for
transmission over the cable. The lens on the surface is the acoustic
lens. Apply ultrasound gel on the acoustic lens for correct operation.
5. Needle-guided
bracket fix tabs and
grooves
Provides mounting support of the needle-guided bracket.
NOTE:
This structure of probes in the figure above may vary with the
matched needle-guided brackets.
