The study aims to demonstrate the unique sonographic features of the commercially available intrathecal drug delivery systems. ⋯ In all programmable intrathecal pumps, the RP can be readily identified sonographically. Potentially, the dome-shaped configuration of RP for the Prometra and MedStream systems make the access easier, when compared with SynchroMed II system. Ultrasound could potentially be utilized to localize the RP and CAP for all the systems as each of the three systems has a unique sonographic appearance.
