Description

<p>Abdominal ultrasound screening examinations are explained for six organs: liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, kidney, and abdominal aorta. Ultrasound examinations need to be divided into several scans, because only a small range is displayed on the monitor. We recommend that you decide the scan location and order in advance in order to reduce missed areas, to improve objectivity when the images are read by another doctor, and to make it easier to train newcomers, etc. Each organ is scanned from a different angle. For stored images, it is desirable to store volume data (including a moving image of a sector scan in one direction) that best reflect the highlights of the ultrasound examination. However, the method of saving images differs from institution to institution. Therefore, 25 still images are used as recommended stored images. Essential points for observing each cross section and technical points related to scanning are explained.</p>
