line.

If the needle is not consistent with the guide line, DO NOT
perform the biopsy procedure.
NOTE:
1. You can perform guide line verification on a single live B image only, and
all biopsy-irrelevant operations are forbidden.
2. 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.
