Phrenic Identification in the ICU
This study looks for the phrenic nerve in the neck using ultrasound in ICU patients on breathing machines. We want to find the best way to locate this nerve, which helps control breathing, so doctors can potentially use new treatments to help patients breathe better.

AI Based Muscular Ultrasound to Assess Intensive Care Unit-acquired Weakness
This study looks at whether artificial intelligence (AI) can use ultrasound scans to find and track weakness that can happen in muscles after a stay in intensive care. It aims to make it easier to spot and monitor this weakness, especially in patients who can't easily communicate.

3D Contrast Enhanced Microvascular Ultrasound of Carotid Atherosclerosis for the Detection of Carotid Plaque Neo-Revascularisation.
This study uses a special 3D ultrasound to look closely at fatty plaques in neck arteries. We want to find tiny new blood vessels within these plaques. This could help us spot plaques that are more likely to cause serious problems like a stroke, so we can treat them sooner.

TransThoracic Ultrasound for Descending Aortic Aneurysms
This study looks at using ultrasound, a painless scan, to check for swelling (aneurysms) in a part of the main artery in your chest. We want to see if ultrasound is good enough to replace X-ray scans for this.
