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)
