 Aorta ultrasound  Begin by reviewing  the anatomy of the aorta we'll then move  on to learn how to perform the  ultrasound examination of the abdominal  aorta all the way from the top at the  subxiphoid process as the aorta excite  the thoracic cavity to bifurcation at  the level of the umbilicus.   Learn how to understand  the interpretation of the ultrasound  images that you will obtain using   bedside sonography   The positions of the probe for sonography of  the aorta generally we'll begin by  placing the probe in a short axis  configuration begin by placing the probe  in probe position 1 in the epigastric  region to visualize the aorta as it  enters the abdominal cavity and exits  through the thoracic cavity via the  diaphragm the probe should be configured  with the marker dot over towards the  patient's right side press down to  firmly displace bowel gas and get a  glimpse of that aorta now we should  visualize the spine as our landmark and  on top of the spine we&#

 The protocol and techniques  of performing the ultrasound of the hip HIP ANATOMY  Bony landmarks of the pelvis you have the ilium you also have the acetabulum, where the femoral head goes into the ischium and then the pubis and right here in the middle, is a pubic symphysis typically. When you're scanning your scan you're seeing the ilium and the acetabulum in a horizontal plane, I've rotated the image and put it here against the iliac wing so you can see the relation from the ultras, the relation of the ultrasound image to the sonographic image here's another view of the hip in cross-section here we have the femoral head at the end of the femur in the socket in the acetabulum this type of joint is known as a ball and socket joint obviously you can see the circular formation of the femoral head it allows for a large degree of rotation for walking this joint is meant to support a lot of weight so naturally any underdevelopment or hyperplasia of the acetabulum will lead
