“ULTRASOUND AND DECOMPRESSION RESEARCH WORKSHOP”

JUNE 24, 2009

 

 

Chair: Neal Pollock


A variety of ultrasound technologies are currently used or emerging to support decompression research. This one day workshop will review the history, utility and limitations of existing technologies and consider the potential utility and limitations of new technologies. A practical goal for the program will be to develop consensus recommendations to improve the standardization of experimental protocols.
