Discrimination of thoracic spine from muscle based on their difference in ultrasound reflection and scattering characteristics
2019
Purpose
Medical ultrasound is often used to specify the puncture position during epidural anesthesia. However, visualization of the thoracic spine is difficult because of the complex structure, i.e., it is difficult to determine whether the thoracic spine or muscle is depicted. Therefore, this study aims to distinguish bone from muscle tissue using the differences in reflection and scattering characteristics of ultrasound.
