It is then much less likely, for example, to impose psychotherapy on a patient with a purely organic problem. Hence, psychiatric diagnosis must be undertaken on precise elements whose investigation runs parallel to the organic diagnosis and treatment, and not after failure of medical therapy (made then, for instance, as a diagnosis of exclusion).

8b). In addition, a reference line from the needle inserted at the skin level toward the target can be drawn on the monitor to estimate the orientation of the needle. Thus inapropriate needle orientation can be detected in advance and required corrections performed more easily (Fig. 9). A coaxial technique represents an alternative approach that makes it possible to use a preadjusted puncture angle. Initially a large-bore needle used for local anesthesia is introduced with an exact direction to the 31 32 B.
