Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Interventional ultrasound (US-guided interventions) involves minimally invasive procedures using real-time ultrasound imaging.
  • Needle steering devices enhance precision in US-guided interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the applications and safety of ultrasound-guided interventions.
  • To highlight ultrasound's role in diagnosis and therapy.

Main Methods:

  • Review of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures guided by ultrasound.
  • Inclusion of fine- and coarse-needle biopsies.
  • Examination of drainage and catheterization procedures (e.g., nephrostomy, central venous catheterization).
  • Assessment of tissue ablation techniques for tumors.

Main Results:

  • US-guided biopsies provide a basis for diagnosis and therapy.
  • US-guided drainage and catheterization are safe alternatives to conventional methods.
  • Interventional ultrasound has low complication (0.19%) and mortality (0.04%) rates.
  • Focal tissue ablation methods are under development for liver and prostate tumors.

Conclusions:

  • Ultrasound is a safe and cost-effective imaging modality for interventional procedures.
  • The range of diagnostic and therapeutic applications for interventional ultrasound is expanding.
