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.
