Ultrasound in diving and hyperbaric medicine.

Ultrasound is a safe and effective imaging modality, the use of which is increasing exponentially in many areas of clinical medicine. In this article, we present what is, to our knowledge, the first in-chamber use of an ultrasound machine. We discuss the challenges this presented, how they were addressed and explore the possible clinical applications that in-chamber ultrasound may deliver in hyperbaric medicine.
