Photoacoustic needle improves needle tip visibility during deep peripheral nerve block
Abstract We developed a novel technology using the photoacoustic effect that improve needle tip visibility. We evaluated whether this technology improves needle tip visibility when performing a deep peripheral nerve block in a cadaver model. A photoacoustic needle was developed using a conventional...
