APPLICATION 01 / IMAGE-GUIDED TISSUE SAMPLING

Ultrasound-guided
liver biopsy.

Explore a percutaneous sampling workflow in context: a patient, a liver lesion, an ultrasound probe and a core biopsy needle. Inspect how the instrument states relate to the specimen.

Case walkthrough
5 original procedural states
Geometric teaching model

APPLICATION GOAL

Understand the modeled sequence from needle approach to retained tissue sample.

ANATOMY & INSTRUMENTS

Patient, bed, liver and teaching lesion; probe, biopsy gun, stylet, cannula and vial.

EXPLORE

Select a step, rotate the scene, switch between patient and procedure views, or reveal the target.

Loading the complete patient and instrument scene…

A complete application scene.

The patient, bed and instruments establish the procedure’s context. The liver uses atlas geometry; the lesion and vessel are authored teaching structures.

A sequence you can inspect.

The five states are exported from the existing procedural model. They show separate stylet and cannula motion and retain the modeled tissue sample after withdrawal.

Its physical scope is explicit.

This walkthrough shows recorded geometric states, not a new force solve. It does not predict needle bending, tissue resistance, diagnostic ultrasound or clinical outcomes. The abdominal window is a teaching cutaway.

Reusable scene, documented states.

Download the same complete GLB, procedural states and source licenses used in this walkthrough. The separate contact benchmark remains available to inspect a real tissue-force solution.
