Ultrasound imaging of the head, neck, and airway
This study uses ultrasound (sound waves) to take pictures of your head, neck, and airway. It may help doctors better understand these areas without using radiation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests if a bedside ultrasound can safely identify children with head injuries who may not need a CT scan, reducing radiation exposure. It compares ultrasound results with standard head CT findings.
This study uses an ultrasound to look at the upper airway in adults having planned surgery with general anesthesia and a breathing tube. It may help doctors understand airway anatomy better.
This study tests a special imaging scan (photoacoustic imaging) to help doctors look at head and neck cancer before treatment. It’s for people who have not had first-line therapy yet and will be starting radiotherapy.
This study uses an ultrasound of the neck to see if doctors can predict which babies under 1 year old might have a harder time getting a breathing tube placed. The goal is to improve safety during anesthesia and procedures.
This study tests whether an ultrasound scan on the neck can help doctors confirm that a breathing tube is in the right place (the windpipe) instead of the food pipe during surgery.
This study tests whether ultrasound (sound wave imaging) can help doctors do procedures in the throat more safely and accurately. It may help people with chronic cough, voice problems, or swallowing issues.
