Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma in Weightlessness: A Feasibility Study

Journal of the American College of Surgeons, 2003
The Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (FAST) examines for fluid in gravitationally dependent regions. There is no prior experience with this technique in weightlessness, such as on the International Space Station, where sonography is currently the only diagnostic imaging tool.A ground-based (1 g) porcine model for sonography was developed ...
