Updates in interventional ultrasonography.
Interventional ultrasonography, including diagnostic, therapeutic, and intraoperative interventions, is a rapidly developing field in both human and veterinary medicine. Growing expertise and significant improvements in the technology have contributed to the innovation of numerous ultrasound-assisted procedures. Ultrasound-guided biopsy and fine-needle aspiration are now commonly performed. New techniques and the indications for other procedures such as cavity drainage, indwelling catheter placement, and intraoperative procedures are presented.
