Abstract
Techniques for ultrasound location of obstructions during OSA include an ultrasound transducer array configured, upon receipt of a signal, to obtain first data that supports a plurality of ultrasound images representing a corresponding plurality of cross sections of an airway in a neck of a subject. Second data is received automatically on a processor, from an apnea event sensor set that is configured to collect automatically the second data sensitive to an apnea event in the subject. An apnea event is detected automatically on the processor based on the second data. In response to detecting the apnea event, the signal is automatically sent to the ultrasound transducer array, wherein the signal is the signal that causes the ultrasound transducer array to obtain the first data. Image data based on the first data is automatically stored in a computer-readable medium.
