What is ultrasound-guided threading

Nov 29, 2022

Ultrasound-guided puncture biopsy is interventional ultrasound, which is a method of puncturing living tissue under real-time monitoring and guidance of ultrasonic instrument to obtain cells and pathological diagnosis.

Ultrasound-guided puncture biopsy was started in 1980, and after more than 30 years of scientific research and clinical practice, the technology has become quite mature. Ultrasound-guided puncture biopsy in our hospital began in the mid-1980s, which is one of the earliest hospitals to carry out ultrasound-guided puncture. Over the years, we have accumulated rich experience in clinical practice.

In the past 30 years, with the improvement of the performance of ultrasonic instruments, the improvement of puncture needles and the accumulation of the experience of operating doctors, ultrasound-guided puncture biopsy has become a very mature and important diagnostic technology. Thus, many diseases, especially tumor diseases, can be diagnosed timely and clearly, which provides the most important information for the selection of patients' treatment methods, surgical methods and post-treatment evaluation and follow-up. In recent years, with the development of tumor gene detection and the application of tumor molecular targeted drugs in clinical practice, ultrasound-guided needle biopsy, which can help to make clear diagnosis before treatment, has become particularly important.

Ultrasound-guided biopsy is guided by advanced ultrasound instruments, and real-time monitoring of needle location can accurately and timely avoid large blood vessels and important organs. It is currently the safest biopsy under the guidance of imaging.
