includes morrison’s pouch, a common space for periotoneal fluid or blood to collect
right subhepatic space

Lobes of the liver
reverse
largest of 3 lobes

RLL fossae

Size varies from patient to patient
men seem to have smaller lobe
found just under the xiphoid process
if larger makes great acoustic window for pancreas and aorta

Liver Ligaments and fissures
reverse
boundry between right and left lobes of liver
on longitudinal scan may be seen as a hyperechoic line extending from portal vein to neck of gallbladder
Main lobar fissure
reverse
appears as bright echogenic triangle on transverse scan
separates the medial and lateral segments of the left lobe of the liver
ligamentum teres
reverse
appears as hyperechoic line separating the left lobe from the caudate lobe
