(last reviewed 10/19/2017)


Guideline to a sequence of scanning
  1. oblique view of pancreatic head, body, and tail(x4-5)
  2. trans LT lobe liver
  3. trans RT lobe liver including IVC and hepatic veins
  4. trans RT lobe of the liver including portal veins (x1)
  5. trans dome of right lobe of liver (x2)
  6. sag LT lobe liver with prox abdominal aorta (label Aorta)
  7. sag RT lobe of liver with IVC (label IVC)
  8. sag RT lobe of liver (x2)
  9. sag RT kidney showing liver/kidney interface(x1)
  10. sag RT kidney with color doppler
  11. sag RT kidney (x3) label lateral, mid and medial (measure length and AP dimensions)
  12. trans RT kidney (x3) label upper, mid and low (measure width dimension)
  13. sag gb (x3), one of which is a decubitus view
  14. trans gb (x3), one of which is a decubitus view
  15. trans gb wall measurement
  16. longitudinal view CBD with and without measurements and color Doppler (x3)
text

Liver:

Sagittal and transverse views of the right and left lobes of the liver. Transverse views of the liver should include a transverse picture with the hepatic veins and IVC and a transverse picture with the portal vein.

CBD:

Longitudinal view of the CBD with and without measurements

Gallbladder:

Sagittal and transverse views

Pancreas:

Longitudinal views of the pancreatic head, body and tail

Right kidney:

Sagittal and transverse views.



Notes:

-show all abnormalities in sag and trans. Measure abnormalities in three dimensions- (length and AP direction on sagittal view and width on transverse view)

-if multiple lesions, then number and measure an appropriate number of lesions that can be followed on subsequent studies

-label specific location of the abnormality if not obvious on the static image (ie upper pole, right lobe)
