[Patient safety in diagnostic ultrasound II--ultrasound guided interventions].
New digital ultrasound techniques simplify the documentation of ultrasound images and allow better comparison with respect to different image modalities. New vascular imaging modes including contrast enhanced power Doppler and 3D power Doppler allow for the detection of very small vessels and leakages. B-flow, a recently introduced digital substraction technique is advancing the detection of residual blood flow in high-grade stenosis without vibration artifacts. Modern contrast agents allow to perform ultrasound guided intervetion such as biopsies and ablation therapies with improved accuracy. This way, the risk for complications can be significantly reduced.
