B-Mode Needle Guide for Injections
B-Mode is sometimes used for ultrasound-guided injections.
When doing such injections, use the Needle Guide feature in B-Mode. This feature displays a needle
overlay on the image display to help you visualize the alignment of the needle with the injection target.
Before You Begin
Ensure the needle is aligned with the transducer in a coupling medium such as gel or water, or
l
inserted in the anatomy of the animal. This ensures the needle appears in the image area.
If you intend to save a clip of the injection, ensure the B-Mode clip size is set long enough to capture
l
the event.
The Needle Guide feature is only available when acquiring data in B-Mode.

To Perform an Image-Guided Needle Injection
1. Begin acquiring image data in B-Mode.
2. With the injection target below focus (in or out of the plane), extend the needle into the image toward
the expected target location. Bring the needle tip as close to the focal depth as possible.
3. On the Control Panel, tap Needle Guide.

compounding. The Mode Settings panel to the left of the image
area on the image display indicates if compounding is activated
