Looks like a great tool! I voted "Not yet, but interested" above :) 

I remember a special case some time ago where we really wanted to get CSF for herpes-PCR, and the LP failed x several. We asked our radiologist for support and ultrasound showed a hematoma after the first puncture attempts, completely compressing the the dural sack. So, getting CSF seemed just impossible. But... a new ultrasound (day after as I remember it), showed that hematoma was smaller and with guidance, we performed a succesful tap. 

 

Shared the poll also on Tw :)
