      Like the “top down” camera view- I can see how that would be handy. Would be interesting if you could do a video version of this in the OR, with a split screen of the U/S image and patient’s wrist shown simultaneously to be able to really appreciate that “walking the probe proximal” maneuver that is required to follow the needle tip as it approaches and eventually pierces the anterior arterial wall.
      Easier said than done I suspect!
