Abstract

Apparatus for assisting in the manual location, vectoring, and insertion of needle-like medical instrument relative to a patient's body using medical imaging equipment having a cross- sectional imaging plane and a monitor which displays a cross- section imaged at the equipment imaging plane incorporates and utilizes image visible planar reference patterns which are sectioned by the equipment cross-sectional imaging plane and the resulting reference pattern imaged sections displayed on the equipment monitor for observation to verify accurate completion of the location, vectoring and insertion steps.
