Title
Refining the Sonic Flashlight for Interventional Procedures
Abstract
ABSTRACT Ultrasound,(US) is often ,used ,in interventional procedures such as accessing blood vessels, performing biopsies, and placing drains. The Sonic Flashlight (SF) is ahandheld,device that uses a mirror to reflect a real-time USimage into the body, making that body part appear translucent. The latest generation handheld SF has been improved,to the ,point where ,it can ,be applied ,to procedures,involving fine structures such as vasculature and small tumors. We ,have dramatically decreased the size, weight, and display lag-time, while increasing resolution. With these improvements, the operator can now,clearly visualize and ,discriminate between ,small
