Serial Measurements of Splanchnic Vein Diameters in RatsUsing High-Frequency Ultrasound
The purpose of this study was to investigate serial ultrasound imaging in rats as a fully non-invasive method to 1) quantify the diameters of splanchnic veins in real time as an indirect surrogate for the capacitance function of those veins, and 2) assess the effects of drugs on venous dimensions.
