26
why must a patient fill their bladder when scanning colon?
visualize sigmoid colon and rectum
27
what do we do to look at areas of interest?
higher frequency transducer
28
what probes do we use when scanning the colon?
- linear - convex linear - some sector probes - transvaginal for women (good sigmoid and rectum)
29
Is bowel compressible?
yes
30
how many layers of the gut might we see?
up to 5 layers

42
Fecal material can create ___________
artifacts and pseudotumors
43
what is abnormal is gut wall with doppler?
Hypervascular or hypovascular where tenderness felt
44
when is appendicitis more common?
young people
45
why do we use ultrasound to look at appendix?
- good at ruling out gallstones, cysts, e.t.c | - radiation with CT
46
what does the appendix look like?
Long, tubular structure that extends from the cecum
47
where is the appendix found?
Located on the abdominal wall under McBurney’s point
48
how do you find McBurney's point?
- Draw a line from the right anterosuperior iliac spine to the umbilicus. - At approximately the midpoint of this line lies the root of the appendix.

what is our landmark when scanning the groin?
Inferior Epigastric vessels
53
where are the Inferior Epigastric vessels?
- Arise from the External iliac vessels | - Courses superomedially
54
why do we scan the groin?
hernias - inguinal (indirect or direct) - femoral - spigelian
55
when are patients sent for ultrasound of the groin?
pain with a lump
56
what are US advantages to scanning the groin for hernias?
