Abstract

Advances in ultrasound (US) machine and transducer design have improved the ability of US to guide interventional procedures. Though affording excellent guidance without radiation and at relatively low cost, US remains underutilized because of lack of understanding and experience in this technique. This article illustrates the role that US has in interventional radiology and explains how to place a needle in a target under US guidance.
