Lab 11/18/10 Google Time



In the above image the CBD is visualized. We had Google time so we were able to scan whatever we felt necessary. I scanned a complete abdomen without annotations. This lab was very beneficial to continue to enhance our skill level.

Lab 11/4/2010

In this lab we focused on scanning a complete abdomen and focused on getting quality images as well as expiditing our scanning time. I feel that i am scanning well but I do need to focus on my sweeps to ensure that i have thoroughly visualized every aspect of the anatomy that i am imaging. Sweeps are the most important part of our imaging procedure so i need to focus on that a bit more. Overall another great lab and i am excited to move on to the female pelvis!

Lab 10/28/2010




In this lab we were using color Doppler and also power Doppler while visualizing the kidneys. This lab was great because it gave us a chance to really utilize our machine and made me realize how using some knobs might enhance my image but slow down my frame rate. Also i realized how difficult it is for a patient to hold their breath in order to get right on the vessel. Overall another great lab!
