🧪 Interventional Ultrasound: precision and safety in real time

Interventional ultrasound is an imaging technique used to guide medical or surgical procedures with precision, safety, and in real time. Using ultrasound imaging, the physician can visualize internal tissues and perform targeted interventions without major incisions.

🩺 Why use interventional ultrasound?

This type of ultrasound is recommended for:

• Aspiration (joint fluid, cysts, abscesses)
• Targeted biopsies (liver, lymph nodes, breast, thyroid…)
• Joint injections (knee, shoulder, hip…)
• Drainage of fluid collections
• PRP or corticosteroid injections guided with precision

⚙️ How the exam is performed

• Done in consultation or in the radiology suite
• The patient is positioned comfortably
• The radiologist or physician uses the probe to locate the targeted area
• The procedure (injection, aspiration, etc.) is performed under direct ultrasound guidance
• Average duration: 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the intervention

✅ Advantages of interventional ultrasound

• High precision thanks to real-time guidance
• Lower risk compared to blind procedures
• Minimally invasive: no hospitalization required
• No radiation
• Rapid results, with immediate follow-up possible
