Diagnostic ultrasound imaging of mouse diaphragm function.
Function analysis of rodent respiratory skeletal muscles, particularly the diaphragm, is commonly performed by isolating muscle strips using invasive surgical procedures. Although this is an effective method of assessing in vitro diaphragm activity, it involves non-survival surgery. The application of non-invasive ultrasound imaging as an in vivo procedure is beneficial since it not only reduce...
متن کاملUltrasound evaluation of piglet diaphragm function before and after fatigue.
Clinically, a noninvasive measure of diaphragm function is needed. The purpose of this study is to determine whether ultrasonography can be used to 1) quantify diaphragm function and 2) identify fatigue in a piglet model. Five piglets were anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium and halothane and studied during the following conditions: 1) baseline (spontaneous breathing); 2) baseline + CO2 [inh...
متن کاملDiaphragm: Pathophysiology and Ultrasound Imaging in Neuromuscular Disorders
Respiratory muscles are classically involved in neuromuscular disorders, leading to a restrictive respiratory pattern. The diaphragm is the main respiratory muscle involved during inspiration. Ultrasound imaging is a noninvasive, radiation-free, accurate and safe technique allowing assessment of diaphragm anatomy and function. The authors review the pathophysiology of diaphragm in neuromuscular...
متن کاملPortable 3D/4D Ultrasound Diagnostic Imaging System
The rapid diagnosis of invisible internal injury in an austere and hostile front-line operational environment remains a challenge for (Canadian Forces) medical and search and rescue personnel. The availability of a portable 4D-ultrasound imaging system with a single probe, providing high image resolution and deep penetration, is considered by (civilian) medical practitioners and their military ...
متن کاملDiaphragm Postural Function Analysis Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging
We present a postural analysis of diaphragm function using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The main aim of the study was to identify changes in diaphragm motion and shape when postural demands on the body were increased (loading applied to a distal part of the extended lower extremities against the flexion of the hips was used). Sixteen healthy subjects were compared with 17 subjects sufferin...
