Inspection method and inspection system

A test system is characterized by a holding unit that holds a light-receiving unit receiving light emitted from a test object and an optical path forming unit that is formed with an optical transmission path as a path of the light received by the light-receiving unit, in which the optical transmission path is formed of a different member from the light-receiving unit. Since the test system has such a configuration, replacement of the light-receiving unit that receives the light emitted from the test object can be facilitated.

Test system

A three-dimensional reference image is displayed along with an ultrasound image (tomogram). The three-dimensional reference image has a first existing line representing a first puncture needle and a second prospective line indicating the prospective puncture path of a second puncture needle. The position and orientation of the probe are adjusted by the user with reference to the three-dimensional reference image so that the second prospective line has an appropriate position relative to the first existing line. After the adjustment, the second puncture needle is inserted into the body using a puncture adaptor provided on the probe. A second existing line is displayed in the three-dimensional reference image when the insertion of the second puncture needle is completed.
