I had an ultrasound guided Core Needle Biopsy yesterday, and before I went home I asked the tech for a picture of the mass using the ultrasound.  I am curious as to what the writing on the borders of the picture mean.  Some of them are obvious like my name, date, time, insurance number, and facility, but others I am confused about.  I am awaiting the results of the biopsy and am trying to find out as much information as I can.  I have searched online and I can't seem to find anywhere that will decode or explain what the other stuff means.  Does anyone know of a resource that might help me figure it out?  This is what the things I don't understand say:

On the left hand side, in a column going down:

FR 42Hz

RS

2D

63%

C 58

P Med

Res

In the top right hand corner after the date and time:

TIS0.1 MI 0.6

L12-5/SmPrt Ad Brst

And across the bottom from left to right:

Right Breast 10:00 7CM/N

I think this one is pretty easily figured out, they told me that if I pictured  my breast as a clock the lump would be at 10:00, obviously it's my right breast, and it's 7cm.

I am just starting and trying to learn what this all means, so if anyone knows or could point me to a resource I would appreciate it.


Thanks!

    Spunky, you are a girl after my own heart. Check u tube. When I had an ultrasound of my liver, I watched a series of videos that taught me how to read and interpret the pictures as they were being taken.

    You both impress me!!  I just find someone smart to help me.  You guys ARE the smart ones.  I will remember that if I need it. :)

    That said, I hope that everything works out and is negative for cancer.
