title: [Interventional sonography of the liver and kidneys].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Optimization of ultrasound guided interventional procedures of the liver and kidneys using new imaging methods.
  
  
  METHODS
  Punctures, biopsies, drainage, intraoperative ultrasound, fusion, embolization in correlation with ultrasound and other imaging methods.
  
  
  METHODS
  Real-time-sonography, contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and fusion for planning, monitoring and postinterventional control.
  
  
  METHODS
  The use of CEUS enables better detection, characterization and execution of interventional procedures. Fusion facilitates detection.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The CEUS procedure is superior for detection and characterization of smaller lesions in comparison to the B scan. Fusion enables the performance of difficult interventional procedures.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The B scan is the standard imaging method but CEUS and fusion could be helpful for smaller lesions.
