HM Lun, SY Zhu, RC Liu, JG Gong, YL Liu - Ultrasound Quarterly, 2016 - journals.lww.com
Objective The aims of this study were to describe the relationship between the scanning
planes and appearance of the upper airway on sonography and to demonstrate the
reliability and reproducibility of sonographic measurements of the upper airway. Methods
Airway sonoanatomy was recognized by comparing the airway images and the
corresponding cadaver's anatomical specimens. Systemic sonographic examination of 267
healthy volunteers was conducted to obtain the sonographic measurement of airway lumen …
