Invasive Procedures (Local anesthetic used)

• Paracentesis. Guided by the ultrasound camera, a radiologist drains fluid from the belly.
• Thoracentesis. Guided by the ultrasound camera, a radiologist drains fluid from around the lung.
• Liver Biopsy. Guided by the ultrasound camera, a radiologist removes liver tissue samples from the right side of the belly.
