我们开发了一种创新的凝胶垫，可覆盖整个小腿，以消除徒手三维超声检查中由于换能器压力引起的伪影。与水中的参考方法相比，本研究表明，这种新方法对于测量腓肠肌内侧肌体积是有效的（偏倚，3.4 mL;一致性限，7.7 mL，体积为1.220 mL）和可靠的（变异系数，<1.1%）。考虑到它比水箱技术更容易使用，它对许多肌肉的体积测量有很大的希望。
We developed an innovative gel pad that covers the entire lower leg to remove artifacts due to the pressure of the transducer in freehand 3‐dimensional ultrasonography. In comparison to the reference method in water, this study showed that this new method was valid (bias, 3.4 mL; limit of agreement, 7.7 mL for a volume of ≈220 mL) and reliable (coefficient of variation, <1.1%) for the measurement of gastrocnemius medialis muscle volume. Considering that it is easier to use than the water tank technique, it has much promise for volumetric measurement of many muscles.
