Principles of the Ultrasound-Guided Procedures

Ultrasound-guided procedures are used every day in equine practice around the world. Sadly, an important number of these procedures are not done properly because of the lack of understanding of the basic principles that are needed to perform injections and surgeries accurately. This chapter discusses the basic principles behind these techniques, allowing the reader to learn how to improve precision and decrease failure. This will not only have an important impact in the results obtained but also would potentially decrease the morbidity and mortality related to these procedures.
