摘要: Technical difficulties, poor image quality and reliance on pattern identifications represent some of the drawbacks two-dimensional ultrasound imaging spinal bone anatomy. To overcome these limitations, this study sought to develop real-time volumetric spine using a portable handheld device. The device measured 19.2 cm × 9.2 9.0 imaged at 5 MHz centre frequency. 2D under conventional (3D) in real time was achieved verified by inspection custom phantom. Further performance assessed revealed 75-min battery life an average frame rate 17.7 Hz mode. results suggest that is feasible technique for more intuitive visualization spine. These may have important ramifications large array neuraxial procedures.
