Under ultrasound guidance, the operator inserts a 16.5 gauge × 11.8″ (1.6 mm × 300 mm outer diameter) needle through the vaginal wall and into an ovarian follicle, taking care not to injure nearby organs and blood vessels. The other end of the needle is attached to a suction device.
It is necessary for most users of the CPT code (principally providers of services) to pay license fees for access to the code. [19] In the past, AMA offered a limited search of the CPT manual for personal, non-commercial use on its web site. [20] CPT codes can be looked up on the AAPC (American Academy of Professional Coders) website. [21]
Pericardiocentesis should be performed with ultrasound guidance whenever possible to prevent complications. [2] [6] This allows practitioners to assess the location of the pericardial effusion and identify adjacent structures. [6] With ultrasound guidance, an apical approach is most often used, but parasternal and subxiphoid approaches can also ...
Lung biopsy in a case of suspected lung cancer under guidance of computed tomography. When cancer is suspected, a variety of biopsy techniques can be applied. An excisional biopsy is an attempt to remove an entire lesion.
Disadvantages of the supraclavicular block include the risk of pneumothorax, which is estimated to be between 1%–4% when using paresthesia or peripheral nerve stimulator guided techniques. Ultrasound guidance allows the operator to visualize the first rib and the pleura, thereby helping to ensure that the needle does not puncture the pleura ...
Interventional radiology (IR) is a medical specialty that performs various minimally-invasive procedures using medical imaging guidance, such as x-ray fluoroscopy, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, or ultrasound. IR performs both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures through very small incisions or body orifices.

This procedure has fallen out of favor with the development of safer techniques for central venous catheterization such as the Seldinger technique, the modified Seldinger technique, [1] [2] [3] intraosseous infusion, as well as the use of ultrasound guidance for placement of central venous catheters without using the cutdown technique.
