Study Notes
Thyroid Gland
- Scan in transverse and sagittal views to visualize both lobes
- Compare sizes of both lobes in transverse view
- Measure diameter of any abnormality and assess blood flow
- Hashimotos disease appears as "giraffe skin" with heterogeneous levels and increased blood flow
- Graves disease appears with increased blood flow
Kidneys
- Scan in sagittal and transverse views
- Normal kidney length is 9-12cm
- Kidneys are hypoechoic (darker) compared to liver and spleen
Ovaries
- Scan in sagittal view with sweeping motion
- Identify iliac vessels and turn on color flow
- Measure ovary in transverse view with angle (L/R)
- Sweep through ovary and measure in transverse view
Uterus
- Measure endometrium and ask about patient's menstrual cycle timing
- Evaluate for fundus, endometrium, body, lower uterine segment, cervix, and vagina in sagittal view
- Evaluate for R ovary, body of uterus, and L ovary in transverse view
Prostate Gland
- Scan in sagittal and transverse views
- Identify seminal vesicles below bladder, resembling bowties
- Enlarged prostate gland will push into bladder
Testicles
- Scan in transverse and sagittal views
- Use towels to support the scrotum and penis during the scan
- Scan each testicle individually
