TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Chapter 2. Instrumentation, Scanning Techniques, and Artifacts A1 - Schrope, Beth A2 - Schrope, Beth PY - 2014 T2 - Surgical and Interventional Ultrasound AB - Discussions on basic ultrasound instrumentation have historically focused on proper handling of the transducer and adjustment of controls for image optimization. These will of course be addressed in this book, but more importantly in a text concentrating on interventional ultrasound one must also appreciate the dynamic nature of ultrasound as an instrument for achieving the procedure at hand. Special attention will be given to intraoperative and endoscopic techniques, which are solely the realm of the proceduralist. What follows is simply the fundamentals for performing an ultrasound examination and/or guided procedure; familiarity and experience cannot be overemphasized.
