Small Size, Great Function: The Application of Handheld Ultrasound in Interventional Radiology
01
What is Interventional Ultrasound?
02
Advantages of Interventional Ultrasound
1. Ultrasound scanning can continuously and dynamically observe the structure and function of organs and display lesions in real time.
2. Short treatment time and little pain during the treatment process.
3. Minimal trauma, preserving the original organ and its functions.
4. Local drug administration increases the effective concentration and reduces side effects.
5. It can avoid certain surgical operations and achieve effects comparable to those of surgery.
6. Accurate and safe guidance, high sensitivity, no X-ray damage, and simple operation.

Clinical Applications of Interventional Ultrasound
1. Diagnostic Interventional Ultrasound:
1) Puncture and Aspiration for Laboratory Testing: Aspiration of pericardial effusion, pleural effusion and ascites, amniotic fluid, mature ova, etc.
2) Needle Aspiration Biopsy for Cytological Examination: Aspiration of a small amount of cells or fluid from masses using a special fine needle for examination, such as differentiation between neoplastic and non-neoplastic lung diseases, qualitative diagnosis of benign and malignant tumors, etc.
3) Puncture Biopsy for Histopathological Examination.

Popliteal Baker’s Cyst and Its Treatment
2. Therapeutic Interventional Ultrasound:
1) Aspiration: Treatment of musculoskeletal lesions, treatment of pleural and abdominal effusions;
2) Catheter Drainage: Catheter drainage for pericardial effusion, pleural effusion, abdominal effusion, gallbladder, renal pelvis, etc.; simple cysts in various parts of the body including hepatic cysts, renal cysts, breast cysts, thyroid cysts, popliteal cysts, ovarian adnexal cysts, pelvic cysts, lymphocysts, etc.;
3) Drug Injection: Sclerotherapy for hepatic cysts, renal cysts, etc.; sclerotherapy for endometriomas, uterine fibroids, adenomyosis; ethanol injection for hepatic carcinoma; fetal blood transfusion; drug injection for deep hemangiomas and lymphangiomas;

SonoMaxx Solutions and Advantages in Interventional Radiology
1) Professional needle guidance software – Puncture Enhancement Super Needle
Enhanced needle image: Enables the operator to clearly visualize the position of the puncture needle during the operation, thereby ensuring the correct puncture path, increasing the success rate of puncture, and reducing patient pain.
2) The needle guidance software comes with a puncture guide line/central line
For undetectable tiny local tissues, clicking around the measurement line can perform local magnification. It is more convenient for clinical observation of the lesion and the situation near the puncture point, presenting a more comprehensive and accurate internal condition to the operator.
3) Magnifier Function
For tiny local tissues that cannot be identified, clicking around the measurement line enables local magnification. It facilitates clinical observation of lesions and the conditions near the puncture site, presenting a more comprehensive and accurate internal view to the operator.
4) IP67 Waterproof and Dustproof
The excellent waterproof performance of SonoMaxx handheld ultrasound meets the needs of departments requiring sterile disinfection. It facilitates comprehensive disinfection and greatly reduces the perioperative infection rate in patients.
5) SonoMaxx Handheld Ultrasound Supports Color Mode
SonoMaxx supports color blood flow mode, which can real-time detect the blood flow status of the lesion site and puncture path. When evaluating the puncture path, it is possible to choose to avoid larger blood vessels, which prevents the occurrence of excessive perioperative bleeding to a greater extent.
