Ultrasound and CT-Guided Percutaneous Interventiona Procedures of the Abdomen

Abstract

Percutaneous interventional procedures have played an increasingly important role in patient management. This is primarily due to the application of diagnostic ultrasound and computerized tomography as imaging modalities to provide accurate guidance for these procedures. The purpose of this article is to review the use of ultrasound and computerized tomography in biopsies and in drainage procedures of the abdomen.
