Abstract: A latch having: a claw configured to rotate between an unlatched position and a latched position; a pawl configured for movement between an engaged position and a disengaged position, wherein the pawl retains the claw in the latched position when the pawl is in the engaged position and wherein the pawl releases the claw when it is in a disengaged position and the claw is free to move from the latched position to the unlatched position; a bumper located on the pawl to dampen noises as the pawl is moved by a portion of the claw; and wherein the detent lever is pivotally mounted to a frame of the latch proximate to a corner of an opening of the latch.

Abstract: A system and method and for acquiring and displaying images from different image modalities where both image sets are acquired in a sequential planar fashion and can be displayed one slice at a time on a computer screen. The operator can locate an anatomical target, such as the base of the prostate, in this image sequence. On the same screen, a live transverse ultrasound image can be acquired and the anatomical target located in the transverse image. The operator can reposition the transducer while acquiring images at intervals. A sensor detects the transducer position so the locations of the planes can be identified. Any plane can be selected from either image displayed, and the image will track in the alternate modality. The desired slice can be displayed on both images, allowing the operator to follow both images and identify pathology that may not be present in one of the images.
