Ultrasound Guided Interventions

The use of ultrasound for procedural guidance has been around for nearly as long as the imaging modality has existed. The benefits of real time imaging without ionizing radiation offers tremendous advantages over other modalities and evolution of ultrasound techniques and equipment has only further improved the scope and effectiveness of performing ultrasound guided interventions. This chapter will discuss an array of procedures that are currently in practice with ultrasound guidance as well as related practical tools and tips.
