Abstract:Ultrasound-guided needle interventions play a pivotal role in the diagnosis and treatment processes in clinical practice. However, existing echogenic needles face challenges in achieving a balance between effectiveness, ease of manufacturing, and inexpensiveness. In this study, we developed an echogenic needle that encompassed the aforementioned advantages through the use of the electrolysis technology. The overall contour of the needle after electrolysis was observed using bright-field microscopy, while scann… Show more
