Study Notes

Pancreas Part 2 Summary

Imaging Techniques

Compression Scanning: involves pushing to displace gas
Use shallow breathing and big breaths to get better imaging
Use liver as a window by taking small breaths and holding
Push stomach out to get better imaging
Patient can be seated or standing during imaging
Drink water to fill the stomach, acting as a window (specific tail)
Try different windows, such as using the spleen as a window (coronal approach)
