Protocol image sequence (Right side only repeat images on left testis for complete protocol). Transverse Begin in transverse what’s know colloquially as the “twins” view. This view is great for determining quickly symmetry, position and echotexture. With color doppler you can determine whether there is testicular torsion. In cases of undescended testis you can show… Read More Testicular/Scrotal Doppler Protocol
Here is the protocol for the complete renal ultrasound. BLADDER Sagittal With a full bladder begin at midline and take right and left lateral images in sagittal. Measure the bladder wall per protocols or indication. A normal adult bladder can hold about 470 ml of urine or about 2 cups. TRANSVERSE Turning your transducer counter… Read More Renal Ultrasound Complete Protocol
Proximal Aorta The aorta is the largest artery that carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the viscera and extremities. Here I share with you the protocol for scanning aortic duplex ultrasounds. Start in the epigastric region at the proximal abdominal aorta and take sagittal grayscale, color Doppler and spectral Doppler and measure the diameter… Read More Aorta Duplex/Doppler Protocol
Introduction Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic progressive neurodegenerative disorder that can affect the brain, spinal cord and optic nerve. It does so via immune mediated damage to the myelin sheath, a modified plasma membrane that surrounds the nerve axon [1]. It is an autoimmune inflammatory disease that causes demyelination which in turn leads to the… Read More Multiple Sclerosis
Intracranial Hemorrhage of Prematurity Intraventricular hemorrhages aka Germinal Matrix/Subependymal bleeds are believed to happen due to poor autoregulation of premature infants, sudden changes in pressure or oxygen saturation can cause sudden reperfusion which ruptures of the tiny delicate vessels within the germinal matrix Etiologic Factors Prevalence Most of the Bleeds occur earlyDay 1 50%Day 2… Read More Intraventricular Hemorrhage
