Overview of foundational technology for IR and IO procedures. Standard setting ultrasound tracking with imaging from the needle tip / stylet.
DeepSight will describe the science and fundamental technology. IR clinician-scientists will explore and discuss emergent applications, as well as already deployed uses.

Learning Objectives:

Explore novel ultrasound technology for device tracking and imaging.
Understand the differences vs conventional technologies (EM tracking, ICE, IVUS).
Describe clinical scenarios in IR where such a tool might advance capabilities in many applications such as biopsy, ablation or TIPS.
