15.2.3 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. Select [Biopsy] > [Alignment] to align the guide line with the biopsy needle.
– Adjust the guide line position: Tap and drag the top dot on the line to change the position
of the guide line.
– Adjust the angle: Tap and drag the bottom dot on the line to change the guide line angle.
