Ultrasonic Detection of Venous Gas Emboli and Tissue Gas in Rodents: Toward Imaging Biomarkers for Decompression Stress
Introduction In humans, decompression sickness (DCS) risk assessment often relies on surrogate ultrasound detection of venous gas emboli (VGE). Rodents are widely used to study DCS and mortality, yet no established relationship exists between imaging and decompression outcomes. We exposed rats to dives with differing DCS risk and investigated whether ultrasound measurements reflected modeled DCS…
