Brief summary
This study is designed to collect ultrasound images from healthy volunteers in the U.S.
Detailed description
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)
Interventions
DEVICEUltrasound scans
10 seconds scanning for one block region

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of ultrasound scan recordings relevant to peripheral nerve blocks collected | Day 1, 2 and 3 | Ultrasound scans will be collected and reviewed for quality and completeness. The outcome will be the number of ultrasound recordings that meet predefined criteria for image quality; correct anatomical region and clear visualization to support AI development. |
