17 Probes and Biopsy
a. Hold the probe. Press the biopsy needle pressure position to separate the biopsy needle
from the pressure position. Separate the bracket and the probe from the needle.
b. 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 probe. Hold
the probe and take out the bracket.
17.2.3 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. Tap [Biopsy] to enter Biopsy.
