Ultrasound Guided Procedures: Tips and Techniques for both Common and Uncommon Indications

! When to do CT ! Improved visualization of structures difficult to see with US* ! Adrenal and retroperitoneal masses ! Calcified masses ! Gas filled collections ! Lung lesions not abutting the pleura ! Certain pelvic masses or collections Patient Preparation Planning is Essential to Success and may be risk stratified* ! Lab work* ! INR 50,000/mL ! May need to use FFP or platelet transfusion in selected cases
