Lab on 8/24/10 First Scanning Experience =)

Wow! Lab was great. It was amazing learning how to move the transducer to get a good image of what we were looking at. I love the way we can just tweak the transducer in any little direction and it will change the appearance of our image completely! Awesome! Also it was a great first scanning experience thanks to Mrs. Stromer and Mr. Dodd taking the time to make those creative bags with all the goodies inside for us to visualize under Ultrasound =) Thanks! Below i will include two images that I myself captured =) The first is of a pickle when I was scanning in long plane. The second is a picture of a balloon filled with water and rocks in a transverse plane. The water inside the balloon was very anechoic in appearance, where as the rocks inside of the water filled balloon were very hyperechoic in appearance. The pickle was very heterogenous in appearance.

I hope you all enjoy my images, and I'm sure there will be more to come in the future! ;-)
