Benefits of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography for interventional procedures [PDF]
For evaluating unclear tumorous lesions, contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) is an important imaging modality in addition to contrast-enhanced computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, and may provide valuable insights into the ...

Interventional ultrasonography of the chest: Techniques and indications. [PDF]
Thoracic ultrasonography can be used for diagnostic purposes as well as a guide for diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.When the lesion or fluid collection has been located and the patient properly positioned, the angle of the needle is identified with respect to the transducer.

Musculoskeletal interventional ultrasonography: The upper limb
Forty percent of the 823 ultrasound-guided injections performed in our centre over a year and a half concerned the upper limb, injections involving the shoulder, for subacromial bursitis and the treatment of calcific tendinitis, being the prime indications (24%).

Interventional musculoskeletal ultrasonography: Precautions and contraindications [PDF]
In recent years ultrasonography (US) has emerged as the imaging technique of choice for guiding diagnostic and therapeutic procedures including those related to the musculoskeletal system. However, the absence of ionizing radiation and the elevated safety of the method must not lead us to forget that there are precautions and contraindications to keep ...

Interventional musculoskeletal ultrasonography of the lower limb
In this case series, out of 823 ultrasound-guided injections carried out over a period of one and a half years, 60% were of the lower limb (LL). In the hip (61% of LL injections), the main indications were pathologies of the gluteal tendons and bursae (80%) and pathologies of periprosthetic soft tissue; in the knee (15% of LL punctures), these ...

Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in interventional oncology [PDF]
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has evolved from the use of agitated saline to second generation bioengineered microbubbles designed to withstand insonation with limited destruction. While only one of these newer agents is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use outside echocardiography, interventional radiologists are increasingly ...

Interventional Endoscopic Ultrasonography: Present and Future [PDF]
The technical advances in endoscopic ultrasonograpy (EUS) and accessories have enabled performing EUS-guided intervention in the pancreas and biliary tract. Many research centers have been performing or investigating EUS-guided drainage, EUS-guided celiac plexus neurolysis and block, EUS-guided anastomosis that includes choledocho-enterostomy and ...

Interventional endoscopic ultrasonography for pancreatic cancer
Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) represents the combination of endoscopy and intraluminal ultrasonography. This allows use of a high-frequency transducer (5-20 MHz) that, due to the short distance to the target lesion, provides ultrasonographic images of higher resolution than those obtained from other imaging modalities, including multiple-detector ...

Lessons from intravascular ultrasonography: Observations during interventional angioplasty procedures [PDF]
AbstractThis article reviews many of the applications of intravascular ultrasonic imaging for coronary and peripheral arterial disease. In vitro studies demonstrate an excellent correlation between ultrasound measurements of lumen and plaque crosssectional area compared with histologic sections.

Modern patient management in rheumatology: interventional musculoskeletal ultrasonography
509 performed in an X-ray department and involves radiation exposure. Ultrasound allows accurate and reproducible identification of the anterior part of hip joint and periarticular tissues. Musculoskeletal ultrasonography (MSUS) can detect small or deeply located effusions not found on clinical examination.
