Decompression illness is a collective term for two maladies (decompression sickness [DCS]
and arterial gas embolism [AGE]) that may arise during or after surfacing from compressed …

Insight into human physiology is key to maintaining diver safety in underwater operational
environments. Numerous hazardous physiological phenomena can occur during the …

Objective Although hand-held ultrasound devices (HHUSDs) are currently used for a diverse
range of diagnostic and interventional applications the imaging performance of such …

Introduction Intravascular bubble load after decompression can be detected and scored
using ultrasound techniques that measure venous gas emboli (VGE). The aim of this study …

It is widely accepted that the presence of venous gas emboli (VGE) is a necessary but
insufficient condition for the development of decompression sickness (DCS) and that …

Doppler ultrasound (DU) measurements are used to detect and evaluate venous gas emboli
(VGE) formed after decompression. Automated methodologies for assessing VGE presence …

Dual-frequency ultrasound methods can be used to detect microbubbles in biological
tissues, and bubble pulsation under acoustic waves is significant for the detection results. In …

Background: Scientific underwater exploration could benefit from professional diving
facilities. This could allow marine research for durations far exceeding anything currently …
