Abstract :

Objective: To determine the effectiveness of advanced interventional ultrasound in the management of chronic pain (elastography, 3D/4D volumetric analysis and strain/strain rate). Methods: We examined 113 patients which were performed advanced ultrasound-guided interventional techniques. High performance ultrasound to assess injuries and anatomy were used; as well as during and after interventional technique in the operating room. Two anesthesiologists with over fifteen years of experience made techniques. Results: All interventional techniques could be performed on an ultrasound-guided and tested in volumetric studies. The largest group was lumbar facet syndrome with a prevalence of 45%. High specificity and sensitivity was found in our study. Improved visualization x-rays compared to 85% of cases. Conclusions: Three-dimensional ultrasound is a new and powerful tool that ensures safety and good results in addressing the treatment of pain.
