Association between gestational age and bovine fetal characteristics measured by transcutaneous ultrasound over the right flank of the dairy cow.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: To determine bovine fetal characteristics significantly associated with increasing gestational age as measured via transcutaneous ultrasonography over the right flank. METHODS: The length of gestation at date of pregnancy diagnosis via ... Read more...

Ultrasound of the thorax (noncardiac).

29 Jun 2009 Ultrasound examination of the thorax is an extremely valuable adjunct imaging modality in chest wall, pleural, mediastinal, and pulmonary disease. While air-filled lungs will obscure some deeper pulmonary lesions, ultrasound can evaluate peripheral ... Read more...

Implementation of real-time ultrasound in a thoracic surgery practice.

29 Apr 2009 PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to implement real-time transthoracic ultrasound in a thoracic surgery and lung transplant practice. DESCRIPTION: Ultrasound units that are light, small, robust, and portable are now available. Obstacles to use ... Read more...
