The development of new ultrasound (US) probes based on Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducer (CMUT) technology requires an early realistic assessment of imaging capabilities. We describe a repeatable experimental protocol for US image acquisition and comparison with magnetic resonance images, using an ex vivo bovine brain as an imaging target.

This manuscript presents protocols for the application of novel genetically encoded nitric oxide (NO•) probes (geNOps) to monitor single cell NO• fluctuations in real-time using fluorescence microscopy. The Ca2+-triggered NO• formation on the level of individual endothelial cells was visualized by combining geNOps with a chemical Ca2+ sensor.
FAQs
Compatibility determines whether Probe cover application protects the patient-contacting surface without interfering with the probe’s intended function. The selected barrier must suit the probe and allow access to the target area while remaining secure. This balance matters because an unsuitable cover may limit examination or imaging use, whereas a compatible one supports hygienic practice and consistent clinical performance.
Surface conformity is important during Probe cover application. Positioning the cover to minimize folds and trapped air helps preserve a smooth interface over the patient-contacting surface and reduces obstacles while the probe is used. Attention to these details supports consistent examination quality, particularly when the covered probe must reach and examine the intended target area.
Securing the barrier requires controlled handling rather than force. The cover should remain in place while the probe is used, yet it must be applied without damaging the device. This step links infection-control goals with equipment care: a barrier that shifts may no longer enclose the relevant surface, while overly aggressive handling can compromise the reusable probe.
A basic workflow begins by selecting a compatible cover, then positioning it so the probe’s patient-contacting surface is fully enclosed. The cover is adjusted to minimize folds and trapped air, while preserving access to the target area, and then secured without damaging the probe. These steps combine barrier placement with preservation of the device’s intended clinical function.
Probe cover application is especially relevant to procedures involving reusable probes in examinations or imaging. Using a cover within these workflows helps address potential transfer of contaminants among the probe, patient, and environment. It therefore supports hygienic practice while allowing clinicians to prepare the device consistently before it contacts the patient or the intended examination area.
Proper placement contributes to infection-control protocols, consistent examination quality, and safer clinical workflows. It also preserves access to the target area and the probe’s intended function, so the protective step does not unnecessarily obstruct the examination or imaging task. These outcomes explain why careful application matters as part of routine preparation for reusable clinical probes.
