Dynamic tongue base thickness measured by drug-induced sleep ultrasonography in patients with obstructive sleep apnea

Background/purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the value of drug-induced sleep ultrasonography (DISU) for evaluating tongue base thickness (TBT) from the awake state to drug-induced sleep, to further understand the impact of dynamic changes in TBT in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) patien...
