Ultrasound-Guided Aspiration
Ultrasound-Guided Aspiration is a medical procedure that uses ultrasound imaging to help doctors safely remove fluid or tissue from a specific area in the body. This technique allows for real-time visualization, ensuring accurate placement of the needle and minimizing damage to surrounding tissues. It is commonly used to diagnose conditions or relieve symptoms caused by fluid accumulation.
During the procedure, a doctor inserts a thin needle into the targeted area while monitoring the process on an ultrasound screen. The fluid or tissue is then drawn out for analysis or to reduce pressure. This method is often preferred due to its minimally invasive nature and effectiveness.
