USG Guided Procedure

A USG (Ultrasound) Guided Procedure is a minimally invasive technique performed using real-time ultrasound imaging to accurately guide needles, catheters, or instruments to a specific target inside the body. Ultrasound provides dynamic, live images, allowing doctors to visualize soft tissues, organs, and blood vessels during the procedure, ensuring high precision and safety.

This method is commonly used for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes where exact needle placement is essential.

Common USG-Guided Procedures

  • FNAC / Biopsy of thyroid, breast, lymph nodes, liver, or other organs

  • Abscess drainage and removal of fluid collections

  • Joint and soft tissue injections for pain relief

  • Nerve blocks and pain management procedures

  • Paracentesis (removal of abdominal fluid)

  • Thoracentesis (removal of fluid around lungs)

  • Cyst aspiration

  • Vascular access (IV line, central line guidance)

How It Works

  • The patient is comfortably positioned depending on the area to be examined.

  • A water-based gel is applied to the skin to improve ultrasound transmission.

  • A handheld ultrasound probe creates real-time images on the screen.

  • The doctor inserts a needle or instrument while continuously viewing its position on the ultrasound monitor.

  • The targeted procedure (biopsy, aspiration, drainage, injection) is completed with precision.
