Ultrasound-Guided Techniques

Ultrasound-guided techniques use ultrasound imaging to help healthcare providers perform procedures with greater accuracy. By using high-frequency sound waves, these techniques create real-time images of organs and tissues inside the body. This allows doctors to see precisely where to insert needles or catheters, or to locate abnormalities for biopsies. The benefits include reduced risk of complications, less discomfort for the patient, and improved outcomes, since the procedures can be done more accurately compared to those done without imaging help. It's commonly used in various medical fields, including vascular access, pain management, and prenatal care.
