WARNING
4-24
You cannot pan the image if measurements, text, arrows, or labels exist on the
image.
To avoid incorrect needle placement when Needle Profiling is on:
Using movement and fluid injection, verify the needle-tip location and
trajectory. Needle Profiling enhances linear structures within a selected angle
range on the ultrasound plane. Linear structures outside the selected angle
range or the ultrasound plane—such as a bent needle—may be less apparent.
Note that linear structures are enhanced only in an outlined portion of the
image. The area outside the outline remains unchanged.
Note that the beam divergence of a curved array transducer may prevent a
segment of the needle shaft from showing in the image. The needle tip may
not appear in all imaging conditions.
