Image Optimization 5-117
Spatial Positioning: Import CT/MR/PET/freehand volume data to the Ultrasound System.
CT/MR/PET/freehand volume data will be set as a CT/MR/PET/freehand 3-dimensional cubic image.
After the doctor registers the ultrasound real-time image with a certain plane of CT/MR/PET/freehand
image, the Ultrasound System receives the probe position information from “positioning (probe)
sensor”. The Ultrasound System shows the CT/MR/PET/freehand image aligned with the ultrasound
image on account of the magnetic spatial navigation function.
Lesion Viewing and Marking: to show the lesions marked on the ultrasonic planes, the ultrasound
image and CT/MR/PET/freehand image are displayed simultaneously via the spatial positioning device
based on the old lesion marks on CT/MR/PET/freehand image. The lesion marks on
CT/MR/PET/freehand image appear on the ultrasound image in real time. It helps the doctor spot the
old lesion mark and perform the surgical plan to the tumor ablation.
Clinical applications: the lesions not-easily-detected in the ultrasonic exams; the panorama of the large
lesion not-fully-displayed in therapeutic ultrasound; surgical operations to tumor ablation; biopsy and
ablation to the liver neoplasms (enabled in the biopsy to renal tumor, lung neoplasms and prostate).
Note
1. Fusion imaging is an optional function. Configure “Ultrasound Fusion Imaging or
Endocavity Fusion Imaging (software optional)”, “Fusion RESP (software optional)”,
“Fusion Imaging Kit (hardware optional)”, Motion Sensor Support (hardware
optional) first before conduct the Fusion Imaging exam. See also Chapter “2.4.3
Options” for details.
2. The SC6-1s, C6-2Gs, SP5-1s, SC8-2s, L14-3Ws, L13-3Ns, SC6-1E, SP5-1E, and
SP5-1U probes support Fusion Imaging when Ultrasound Fusion Imaging is
configured. The V11-3Hs and ELC13-4s probes support Fusion imaging when
Endocavity Fusion Imaging is configured.
WARNING
The Fusion Imaging is contraindicated to the
person wearing the internal pacemaker, cochlear
implant or nerve stimulator. People wearing the
implant or intra-corporeal devices should keep one-
meter away when the magnetic generator starts
working.
5.17.2 Magnetic Navigator
Place the set of the magnetic navigator away from the electromagnetic interference
sources, such as power filter, signal indication, magnetically activated metal materials,
cell phone in the use of the devices.
Connect the magnetic navigator when the magnetic navigation controller is OFF.
Exit Fusion imaging before reconnecting/disconnecting sensor from the magnetic
navigation controller. Turn off the magnetic navigation controller before
connecting/disconnecting magnetic generator.
Plug the auxiliary output power supply cable, USB data cable, magnetic generator and sensor(s) to the
magnetic navigator respectively following the arrow’s guide.
