13-58 Probes and Biopsy
No. Image Description
1
Orientation
indication
Orientation of the needle to the surface of the acoustic lens.
Needle color turns green if the needle is inside the real-time
ultrasound image plane.
Needle color turns brown if the needle is not inside the real-
time ultrasound image plane.
2 Mark Mark the lesion/tumor. For details, refer to chapter “13.3.4 Mark”.
3 Intersection
Intersection displays if the needle navigation is conducted in out-
plane status. Intersection is the cross point of the needle and the
ultrasound image plane.
4
Tip projecting
point
Projecting point of the needle tip on the ultrasound image plane.
5 Indicating box
Image with mark: the box indicates the needle tip projecting
point to the mark.
Image with no mark: the box indicates the needle tip projecting
point to the intersection in out-plane status.
The distance indicating box shrinks by the time needle tip goes
towards the lesion mark or intersection. When the tip is 3mm away
from the lesion mark or intersection, the box turns green.
6
Needle end
projecting
point
Projecting point of the needle end on the ultrasound image plane.
7 Projected line
Projected line of the needle on the ultrasound image plane.
Solid line in the middle is the projected line of the needle central
part. Dotted line on the both sides are top and bottom parts of the
needle.
Needle projected line turns green if the needle is inside the
real-time ultrasound image plane.
Needle projected line turns brown if the needle is not inside
the real-time ultrasound image plane.
8 Guideline
Virtual line.
Image with mark: guideline turns green if it can cross the mark.
Otherwise, the guideline turns brown.
Image with no mark: guideline displays in brown.
Tap [Guideline] to display or hide the guideline.
13.3.6 Disposal
Dispose needle, sensor support, sterile cover by requirements of the manufacturer. Contact the manufacturer
for details.
Dispose the bracket after sterilization. Contact Mindray for bracket disposal.
13.4 Middle Line
Middle Line helps to locate and observe the focus point of lithotripsy wave during lithotripsy treatment.
By means of providing information for the lithotripsy machine as well as a tool for watching the
procedure of lithotripsy in real-time, you can adjust the intension and frequency of the lithotripsy wave
through lithotripsy machine.
