Ultrasound imaging has evolved as a very important tool in medical science. In addition to its varied uses it can also be used to help accurately locate the posterior iliac crest during a Bone Marrow Aspiration (BMA) and Bone Marrow Trephine (core) Biopsy (BMTB). Ultrasound machines are large and bulky and generally not suitable for bedside use. We have used ... Read more
