Interventional ultrasonics is a medical technology that uses ultrasound-guided equipment that allows for the insertion of therapeutic or surgical instruments into specific areas within the body. Interventional ultrasound is used for diagnosis and treatment in a variety of medical fields, including cardiovascular disease, oncology, and central nervous system disorders.
Interventional ultrasound has a wide range of applications, and is particularly suited to image-guided treatment. For example, it can help physicians perform tissue punctures, take samples, or perform thermal ablations. In addition, ultrasound intervention is widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. It can help physicians detect stenosis and occlusion of vascular lumen, as well as perform atrial delineation and radiofrequency ablation therapy, among others.
Ultrasonic interventional technology has many advantages; it can reduce trauma and pain for patients, while improving diagnostic accuracy and treatment outcomes. In addition, interventional ultrasound technology has some economic value, as it can accomplish many treatments without the need for extensive open surgery. However, there are some drawbacks to interventional ultrasound technology. For example, the procedure requires special training and experience and is sometimes technically challenging. Also, the difficulty and risk of ultrasound interventions can change with the circumstances of the procedure.
