This is the last part of our series about the basics of sonography and we will scan the urinary bladder, and put some of the things we learned together!
Part 10 of the Ultrasound 101-series focuses on vocabulary and how to comprehensively describe your findings or how to understand a description given by someone else.
In this part of the US 101-series, you will learn about color Doppler, which allows you to depict flow information on your screen and is the first step to discovering hemodynamic measurements.
In this part, we have prepared a short video for you about documentation and quantification in ultrasound because, after all, measuring and saving our findings is an essential part of our work as sonographers.
In part 7 of the Ultrasound 101 series, you will learn more about the background of how the ultrasound image is developed, some basic physics behind it and the "why" behind the image.
Imaging depth does exactly what it sounds like - it describes how far into the body you can look with your ultrasound machine. It is measured in centimeters and starts at the surface of the transducer, which is usually resting on the patient's skin.
As sonographers, we try to get an appreciation of a 3D structure in the patient’s body using a 2D screen, which means our hand holding the transducer is constantly moving.
