protocals

Question 1

aorta protocal

list the protocal in order

Answer 1

Longitudinal Images:
1. SAG AORTA PROX (W/ A/P measurement)
2. SAG AORTA MID (W/ A/P measurement)
3. SAG AORTA DIST (W/ A/P measurement)
4. SAG RT Iliac (W/ A/P measurement)
5. SAG RT Iliac (W/ color Doppler)
6. SAG LT Iliac (W/ A/P measurement)
7. SAG LT iliac (W/ color Doppler)
Transverse Images:
7. TRV AORTA PROX (W/ A/P and TRV measurement)
8. TRV AORTA MID (@ SMA) (W/ A/P and TRV measurement)
9. TRV AORTA RENALS– (@ RENAL Arteries)
10. TRV AORTA RENALS – (@ RENAL Arteries) (W/color Doppler)
11. TRV AORTA DIST (W/ A/P and TRV measurement)
12. TRV Rt & Lt Iliacs
13. TRV Rt & Lt Iliacs (w/color Doppler)

Question 2

AO PROX LANDMARKS

Answer 2

Landmarks: Lt Lobe of liver anteriorly, the gastroesophageal JUNCTION (IF SEEN), BE ABOVE THE CELIAC AXIS

Question 3

AO PROX TRV

Answer 3

THE LOVER IS VISUALIZED ANTERIOR (ON TOP) NO OTHER BRANCHES ARE SEEN COMING OFF THE AORTA. THE PROX AO IS DEEPER THAN MID AND DISTAL

Question 4

AO MID LANDMARKS

Answer 4

SMA ANTERIOR TO AO MID
SPINE IS POSTERIOR TO AORTA
WE MAY SEE SOME LIVER

Question 5

AO AT. RENALS

Answer 5

THE LEFT RENAL VERIN IS THE LANDMARK
THE LRV WILL BE SEN CPURSING THOUGH THE SMA AND AO
THE RENAL ARTERIES RUN POSTERIOR TO THE RENAL VEINS

Question 6

AO DISTAL

Answer 6

SMA SHOULD NOT BE SEEN TAPERING OFF THE AORTA
WE SHOULD SEE THEBIFURICATION JUST ABOVE IT

Question 7

IL

ILIACS

Answer 7

THE BIFURCATION IS USUALLY AT THE LEVEL OF UMBILICUS
