At Veritas, our team uses advanced ultrasound technology to carry out these procedures with high precision, minimizing risks and avoiding the need for major surgery whenever possible.
What are USG-Guided Interventions?
Ultrasound-Guided (USG) Interventions are minimally invasive procedures performed under real-time ultrasound imaging. This technique allows doctors to precisely target the affected area using fine needles or catheters, ensuring maximum accuracy, safety, and patient comfort.
Types of USG-Guided Interventions
1. Liver Abscess Aspiration
When pus accumulates in the liver due to infection, ultrasound guidance helps in safe aspiration. This procedure relieves pain, prevents complications, and promotes faster recovery.
2. Ascites Tapping (Paracentesis)
For patients with fluid buildup in the abdomen, USG-guided tapping ensures safe removal of fluid for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, improving breathing and comfort.
3. Pleural Effusion Tapping (Thoracentesis)
Excess fluid around the lungs can cause breathing difficulties. With ultrasound guidance, fluid can be safely drained to relieve symptoms and obtain samples for diagnosis.
4. FNAC (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology)
A minimally invasive technique where a fine needle is guided by ultrasound to collect cell samples from organs such as the thyroid, breast, or other masses for accurate diagnosis.
5. Lymph Node Biopsy
When lymph nodes appear suspicious, an ultrasound-guided biopsy ensures that precise tissue samples are obtained, helping in early detection and treatment planning for conditions like infections, lymphoma, or cancer.
6. Kidney Cyst Aspiration
For symptomatic kidney cysts, USG-guided aspiration helps in draining the cyst fluid safely, relieving pain, discomfort, and pressure on surrounding structures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are USG-guided interventions painful?
A. Most procedures are done under local anesthesia, so patients feel minimal discomfort.
How long does the procedure take?
A: Depending on the type, most interventions take 20–40 minutes, followed by a short observation period.
Is hospitalization required?
A: In most cases, these are day-care procedures, and patients can go home the same day.
Are there any risks?
A: Risks are minimal. Ultrasound guidance greatly reduces complications compared to blind procedures.
Who performs these interventions at Veritas?
A: All interventions are performed by experienced radiologists and specialists using advanced ultrasound equipment.
