Comparative Study
[Real-time compound imaging: improved visibility of puncture needles and localization wires as compared to single-line ultrasonography].
To compare the visibility of biopsy needles and localization wires using real-time compound imaging (SonoCT) and single-line ultrasound (SLU). ⋯ At 0 degree and 12 degrees visibility is very good for all tested materials. For steeper angulations contrast was partly critical in SLU and significantly enhanced with compound imaging. Thus, SonoCT may be useful to increase precision of ultrasound-guided percutaneous interventions.
