Ultrasound Image Collection for the Development of an AI Software

Data Collection for the Development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Software to Support Ultrasound-Guided Regional Anesthesia Procedures

This study is designed to collect ultrasound images from healthy volunteers in the U.S.

The goal of this study is to create an ultrasound image dataset of healthy volunteers from the U.S. population. This dataset will be used for development of an AI software which will assist anesthesiologists in detection of key anatomical structures on the ultrasound image for peripheral nerve block applications. These blocks are:

• Interscalene Brachial Plexus
• Supraclavicular Brachial Plexus
• Infraclavicular Brachial Plexus
• Cervical Plexus
• Axillary Brachial Plexus
• PECS I & II
• Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP)
• Rectus Sheath
• Femoral Nerve
• Adductor Canal
• Popliteal Sciatic
• Erector Spinae Plane (ESP)

Inclusion Criteria:

• Provision of signed and dated informed consent form
• At least 18 years of age and older
• Stated willingness to comply with all study procedures and availability for the duration of the study
• In good general health

Exclusion Criteria:

• Pregnancy
• Inability to lie to flat
• Any complaint or anatomical deformity on the regions to be scanned
