Towards the front of the body

Towards back of body

Pie-shaped sector; smaller probe face and creates a wider sector than the curved

Medial

Away from the midline

Fowlers

What adjusts to the area of interest. Know where it is seen on the screen?

Farthest point of origin, farthest from heart

Adjusts how far or how close we see into the body. Know where the depth number is seen on the screen

Normally 4 cm wide and provides a rectangle field of view, created by a line of many little crystals

Trendlenberg

Divides the body into any section other than sagittal, coronal and transverse

Line of crystals, but it is curved to create a sector(pie) shaped field of view

Farther down from the skins surface

Divides the body into right & left sections

Inferior, below towards feet

Ultasound emitting from the transducer

What evens out echoes

Any device that changes energy from one form into another

Bright appearances echoes, calcification, pericardium

Is the center of the image

Adjusts the brightness of the entire image. Makes the entire image brighter or darker

Closer to the point of origin. Closest to the heart

Divides the body into Superior and Inferior portions

The top of the screen. The area closest to the transducer and the more superficial part of your neck or body

Closer to the surface , skin

Right Lateral Recumbent/ Right lateral decubitus

Anechoic

Very high frequency sound waves-millions of Hertz- used for diagnostic purposes-they bounce off of structures and blood inside the body to obtain images and flow signals

divides the body into anterior and posterior portions

Reverse Trendlenberg

The bottom of the screen. The area farther away from the transducer and the deeper part of your neck or body

Prone

TGCs

Superior, above; towards head
