This study uses sound waves (ultrasound) to look at your thigh and hand muscles. The goal is to see if ultrasound pictures can predict how strong these muscles are. It will help doctors measure muscle health without difficult tests.
This study uses an ultrasound scan to look at muscles and nerves (including the breathing muscle). It may help researchers better understand neuromuscular problems and how well ultrasound can detect them.
This trial studies how well a bedside ultrasound can show what is in the stomach. It may help doctors make safer plans around procedures done with anesthesia, especially in children.
