- oblique view of pancreatic head, body, and tail(x4-5)
- trans LT lobe liver
- trans RT lobe liver including IVC and hepatic veins
- trans RT lobe of the liver including portal veins (x1)
- trans dome of right lobe of liver (x2)
- sag LT lobe liver with prox abdominal aorta (label Aorta)
- sag RT lobe of liver with IVC (label IVC)
- sag RT lobe of liver (x2)
- sag RT kidney showing liver/kidney interface(x1)
- sag RT kidney with color doppler
- sag RT kidney (x3) label lateral, mid and medial (measure length and AP dimensions)
- trans RT kidney (x3) label upper, mid and low (measure width dimension)
- sag gb (x3), one of which is a decubitus view
- trans gb (x3), one of which is a decubitus view
- trans gb wall measurement
- longitudinal view CBD with and without measurements and color Doppler (x3)
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)
