AB Ultrasound  technology  is  readily  available  and  can  provide  guidance  for  invasive  abdominal  procedures  in  multiple  planes  without  ionizing  radiation.  Further,  real-time  guidance  of  the  needle  tip  position  allows  the  operator  to  avoid  inadvertent  puncture  of  vital  structures  during  the  performance  of  invasive  and  soft  tissue  procedures  of  the  abdominal  cavity.  Recently,  this  technology  has  a  demonstrated  benefit  in  abdominal  procedures,  such  as  paracentesis,  liver  and  kidney  biopsy,  percutaneous  gallbladder  drainage,  and  abscess  drainage.
