Summary
This study presents a diagnostic-therapeutic invasive sonography algorithm. The ultrasound-guided approach achieved high success rates in patient interventions, improving therapeutic outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Medical Imaging
- Interventional Radiology
- Ultrasound Technology
Background:
- Invasive sonography offers a minimally invasive approach for diagnosis and therapy.
- Developing standardized algorithms is crucial for optimizing ultrasound-guided procedures.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe and evaluate a novel algorithm for diagnostic-therapeutic invasive sonography.
- To assess the efficacy and outcomes of ultrasound-guided interventions using this algorithm.
Main Methods:
- The study involved 276 patients undergoing 276 ultrasound-guided manipulations.
- Procedures included therapeutic punctures, percutaneous nephrostomies, and dilatational minilaparatomy with drainage.
Main Results:
- Complete therapeutic success was achieved in 77.5% of cases.
- Partial success was observed in 14.1%, with an 8.4% failure rate.
- The algorithm facilitated individualized patient approaches and optimal technique selection.
Conclusions:
- The developed diagnostic-therapeutic invasive sonography algorithm is effective.
- It enables personalized patient care, appropriate procedural choices, and integration of diagnostic elements.
- This approach leads to satisfactory therapeutic outcomes in a majority of patients.
