Wearable ultrasound for lumbar puncture guidance

As one of the most commonly performed spinal interventions in routine clinical practice, lumbar punctures are usually done with only hand palpation and trial-and-error. Failures can prolong procedure time and introduce complications such as cerebrospinal fluid leaks and headaches. Therefore, in this work, we present a complete lumbar puncture guidance system with the integration of…
