Fig. 1: Position of the probe, suprapubic, transverse – bladder. The probe is placed transversely on a line between the two points of the anterior superior iliac spine, in the suprapubic aspect….

Fig. 1: Position of the probe, subxiphoid, lengthwise – great vessels The probe is placed lengthwise directly below the xiphoid. One thus obtains a longitudinal view of the great vessels. By performing…

Fig. 1: Position of the probe – oblique subxiphoid – direction of shift for the renal arteries. To view the pancreas and the superior mesenteric artery the probe is slided caudally parallel to…

Fig. 1: Position of the probe – right flank. The probe is placed lengthwise in the right flank, between the anterior and posterior axillary line, directly below the costal arch. The marker…

Fig. 1: Position of the probe, subxiphoid and transverse – pancreas. From its longitudinal position the probe is rotated 90° in counterclockwise direction with the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) in the center…

Fig. 1: Position of the probe – lengthwise along the gallbladder. Starting from the right flank, the probe is moved lengthwise along the costal arch towards the medial aspect. Viewing the margin of…

Fig. 1: Holding the probe for a longitudinal section: the red line highlights the marker. When obtaining a standardized longitudinal section, the marker on the probe (red line) always points…

Fig. 1: Position of the probe, intercostal, left flank – spleen and left kidney. The probe is placed along the left flank, in the intercostal space, at the level of…

Fig. 1: Position of the probe, subcostal oblique – CPC. This section is known as the shoulder-navel section because of the orientation of the probe, or the CPC section (common…
