Ultrasound Imaging of the Thoracic and Abdominal Aorta in Mice to Determine Aneurysm Dimensions
Published on: March 8, 2019
[Modern diagnostic approaches to investigations of abdominal aorta changes in flying personnel]
Abstract:
Modalities of the modern radiation diagnostics (USI and computer tomography) in expert investigation of the ventral aortas in pilots of different aircraft were demonstrated. The most effective diagnostic algorithm of investigation and determination of hypertrophy of the ventral aorta, and detection of the atherosclerotic plaques calcinosis has been developed and its importance for medical certification demonstrated. Morphostructural changes in the ventral aorta were featured and correlated with the debilitating occupational conditions in different types of aviation.

Assessment of the Abdomen I: Inspection and Auscultation
The abdominal examination is a cornerstone of clinical medicine, serving as a critical tool in diagnosing various gastrointestinal (GI) diseases. It involves a systematic approach that includes inspection and auscultation, each with distinct yet complementary roles in assessing the abdomen. This article will delve into these two primary methods healthcare professionals use to examine the abdomen.
Inspection of the Abdomen
The first step in any abdominal examination is inspection.
Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray
Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
