This structure is located caudal to the ____________, cranial to the ____________ and bisected by the __________ vessels.

With regards to ultrasound imaging of the normal urinary bladder. Urine does not attenuate sound waves and therefore is anechoic.

The direction indicated by “a” is:

All of the following should be done to maximize ultrasound image quality, EXCEPT:

The direction indicated by “a” is:

During abdominal ultrasound, peritoneal effusion is noted and abdominocentesis performed to obtain a sample for cytologic evaluation.  Which of the following types of effusions could potentially be recovered from the peritoneal cavity?

You obtain this long axis ultrasound image of the kidney with the patient in dorsal recumbancy and the ultrasound probe on the patient’s ventrum.  Which direction with respect to the patient would you need to slide your ultrasound probe to obtain a mid sagittal image of this kidney?

This image is depicting M-mode of the right and left ventricle.

With the patient in dorsal recumbency and the ultrasound probe in contact with the ventral abdomen you obtain a sagittal view of the urinary bladder. When looking at the image on the screen of the ultrasound machine the apex of the urinary bladder will be located to the left and the bladder neck to the right of the screen.
