The Myriad Advantages of Ultrasonography in Image-Guided Interventions

Ultrasound Quarterly, 2016
Abstract We will review and illustrate the multiple advantages of ultrasound as an image guidance tool, including real-time vessel visualization, multiplanar capability, portability/availability, and decreased procedure time and cost. We will demonstrate the unique advantages of the use of this imaging modality in the biopsy of ...

Cerebrovascular Ultrasonography for Selecting Patients for Stroke Intervention

Recent Patents on CNS Drug Discovery, 2014
Currently employed diagnostic ultrasonography provides clinically relevant information about cerebral hemodynamic changes in patients with cerebrovascular ischemia. The information thus obtained is often helpful to the physician for establishing or confirming the diagnosis and prognosis as well as in taking appropriate therapeutic decisions.

Interventional Endoscopic Ultrasonography

Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, 1999
Although first performed more than 20 years ago, endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) has only recently been used for interventional/therapeutic purposes. The recognition and application of this versatile procedure by gastroenterologists who perform endoscopy has reached an all-time high, and the demand for symposia and tutorials devoted to EUS rivals that

INTERVENTIONAL ENDOSCOPIC ULTRASONOGRAPHY: APPLICATIONS FOR CANCER RELATED TREATMENT

Digestive Endoscopy, 2009
For tissue diagnosis in patients with abnormalities of various organs, endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)‐guided fine needle aspiration (EUS‐FNA) has emerged as an effective technique. Subsequently, EUS‐guided fine needle injection (EUS‐FNI) has expanded the clinical utility of EUS.

Proposal of classification and terminology of interventional endoscopic ultrasonography/endosonography

Digestive Endoscopy
Interventional endoscopic ultrasonography/endosongraphy (I‐EUS) procedures have rapidly evolved since their introduction three decades ago; however, the classification and terminology for these procedures remain unstandardized. To address this, the Subcommittee for Terminology of I‐EUS in the Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society was established ...
