Ultrasound-Guided Injection

Overview

Ultrasound-guided injection uses real-time imaging to precisely deliver medication to target structures.

Advantages

• Accuracy — visualize needle tip in real-time
• Safety — avoid nerves and blood vessels
• Efficacy — confirm medication delivery to target

Common Targets

Ultrasound guidance improves injection accuracy to >95% compared to landmark-guided approaches.

Procedure

1. Position patient and apply gel
2. Identify target with ultrasound
3. Insert needle under visualization
4. Confirm placement and inject
