We adopted the same approach to the legs as to the torso; we scanned each surface, front, outside, inside and back of the leg. Due to the length of the leg, we sectionalised this to upper and lower leg.
Upper leg
These scans were taken on the same subject on the same day. There was insufficient time to make a lateral (outside) leg scan.
|
To the left is the elctrogram of the anterior (front) surface of the subject’s right thigh and hip. |
|
Next is the elctrogram of the medial (inside) surface of the subject’s right thigh and hip. Note the reddish region just above the knee, the subject had recently sustained a superficial injury in this area. The subject had also been complaining of pain in the right hip and was on medication for this. |
|
The image on the right shows the wound on the subject’s inside leg. At the time of the scan, there was also some bruising around the wound. |
|
The electrogram to the left was obtained by scanning the posterior (back) subject’s right thigh. |
Lower leg
|
The plot on the right shows the results of scanning the lateral (outside) of the subject’s right leg. |
|
To the left is the results of scanning the anterior (front) surface of the subject’s right leg. |
|
The result of scanning the medial (inside) of the subject’s lower right leg is shown to the right. |
|
The electrogram to the left is from scanning the posterior (back) surface of the subject’s lower right leg. Note the ‘V’-shape near the ankle. |
|
A similar feature is observed in another subject. The calf muscles join the Achilles tendon in a similar way. |
