Ultrasound-guided procedures

Ultrasound helps guide non-invasive procedures. Radiologists use ultrasound waves to locate and examine tissue collection in tendons, muscles, cysts and soft-tissue masses. Ultrasound-guided procedures involve finding the mass with the ultrasound and then using a needle to withdraw a piece of the mass for analysis. If you are having this procedure, the radiologist will use an ultrasound probe to inject a numbing agent at the sample site. Then, the probe will help guide the needle into the mass to take the samples.
