12.2.5 Verify Biopsy Guide Line
For bi-planar probe applied biopsy, the verification is performed on the first
guide line, the other guide lines can move together with the first one in
parallel.
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 transducer in the sterile water, and get a biopsy needle into the
needle guide.
4. When the biopsy needle appears on the image, please adjust the parameters of the
menu on the screen to make the biopsy needle is displayed at almost the same position
as the selected needle mark.
