An echogenic needle is a specialized medical device designed for enhanced visibility under ultrasound guidance during interventional procedures. Its unique design incorporates features like roughened surfaces, dimples, or polymer coatings that strongly reflect ultrasound waves, appearing brightly on the sonographic image. This improved echogenicity significantly aids clinicians in precisely tracking the needle's trajectory and tip…

In procedural medical and ultrasound, hydrodissection is a technique involving the injection of a fluid, typically saline or a local anesthetic, to separate tissue planes or create a safety margin around a structure. This method enhances visibility, facilitates safe needle advancement during biopsies or injections, and can mitigate nerve injury by isolating neural structures from…

Central venous access is a crucial procedural technique in medicine, involving the insertion of a catheter into a large vein, typically in the neck, chest, or groin. This allows for reliable long-term intravenous access, essential for administering medications, fluids, chemotherapy, and for monitoring central venous pressure. Ultrasound guidance is now standard for these procedures, significantly…
