The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of sonography in identifying the anatomic structures of the upper airway and to describe their appearance on sonography. ⋯ Sonography of the upper airway is capable of providing detailed anatomic information and has numerous potential clinical applications.

Controlled Clinical Trial
Feasibility of sonography for intra-articular injections in the knee through a medial patellar portal.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of using real-time high-resolution sonography to guide an injection needle into the intra-articular space within the knee. ⋯ Intra-articular injections via an MPP using sonographic guidance may raise the accuracy rate in knee joint injections.

Comparative Study
Accuracy of sonographically guided posterior subtalar joint injections: comparison of 3 techniques.
The primary purpose of this investigation was to determine the accuracy of 3 different sonographically guided posterior subtalar joint (PSTJ) injection techniques in an unembalmed cadaveric model. ⋯ This cadaveric investigation suggests that all 3 sonographically guided PSTJ techniques may be used to access the PSTJ with a high degree of accuracy. Clinicians should consider sonographically guided PSTJ injections as a favorable alternative to fluoroscopy and computed tomographic guidance when diagnostic or therapeutic image-guided PSTJ injections are indicated.
