  • Page 14 Right-left orientation mark Fig.3 The relationship between the direction of the probe and the Right-left Orientation Mark in Linear US image WARNING Be careful with a probe cover made from the latex. The latex may cause such allergic reactions as itching, rubor, urticaria, swelling, fever, anhelation, wheezing, and depression of blood pressure, shock and so on.
  • Page 15 CAUTION ・ Do not use the probe if the image and the frequency do not match the probe. An incorrect acoustic output can result in burns or other injuries to the patient. ・ Scan for the minimum length of time necessary for the diagnosis and at the lowest possible output.
  • Page 16 CAUTION The needle echo image corresponds with the needle guideline, but the actual distance from the surface of acoustic lens to the needle guideline is approximate 3mm shorter than the numeric value in the upper right on US image, so the numeric value is rough indication for biopsy.
