“…In challenging cases like obesity or anatomy variations, merging CT and ultrasound could be valuable by combining their complementary strengths ( 42 , 43 ). CT provides 3D anatomical details for pre-procedural planning, while ultrasound enables real-time visualization and dynamic needle guidance.…”

BackgroundThe conventional midline approach for lumbar puncture (MAT-LP) has a relatively low success rate of 70%. The paramedian approach can increase the effective puncture area and success rate but lacks standardized guidelines. This study evaluated a computer-modified paramedian approach technique (CMPAT) to optimize lumbar puncture using computational techniques.MethodsIn this prospective study, 120 patients underwent CMPAT-LP (n = 60) or MAT-LP (n = 60). Puncture failure was defined after 6 attempts. Failure rate, number of attempts, pain score, and complications were compared. Subgroup analysis was conducted for age (≥ 50 years).ResultsNo significant demographic differences existed between groups. Failure rates were 3.3% for CMPAT vs. 13.3% for MAT. Puncture attempts averaged 2.0 vs. 3.5 and pain scores were 2.7 vs. 4.1 for CMPAT and MAT, respectively. All outcomes were significantly improved with CMPAT, especially in elderly patients. No significant difference in complications was observed.ConclusionCompared to MAT, CMPAT-LP demonstrated lower failure rates, fewer puncture attempts, and less pain, without compromising safety. CMPAT may be superior and should be more widely implemented in clinical practice.

“…Fused CT-ultrasound imaging can integrate the global perspective from CT with live imaging from ultrasound ( 42 , 43 ). This has strong potential to enhance LP success in difficult scenarios, overcoming limitations of either modality alone.…”
