Abstract
Clinical/methodical issue. Optimization of ultrasound guided interventional procedures of the liver and kidneys using new imaging methods. Punctures, biopsies, drainage, intraoperative ultrasound, fusion, embolization in correlation with ultrasound and other imaging methods. Real-time-sonography, contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and fusion for planning, monitoring and postinterventional control. The use of CEUS enables better detection, characterization and execution of interventional procedures. Fusion facilitates detection. 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. The B scan is the standard imaging method but CEUS and fusion could be helpful for smaller lesions.
