Four commercial needles (Echotip, Mini-Stick, Echo-Coat, Surflo) and a prototype dimpled needle were tested in a liver phantom at angles of insonation ranging from 90° to 15°. Photodensity measurement determined echogenicity levels in arbitrary echogenicity units (EU).

At 90° angles of insonation all needles were easily seen (60–76 EU) and echogenic levels were similar (P < .264). All values decreased with angulation. From the 35° to 15° angles, the prototype and Echotip needles were superior (P < .05). At 15° the values were 43 EU for the prototype needle, 40 EU for the Echotip needle, 9.0 EU for the Echo-Coat needle, and 5.0 EU for the Surflo needle.

With angulation, all needles drop in echogenicity, with prototype dimpled and Echotip best maintaining visibility at clinically important angles.
