"This is rather a late reply. But the best way to sonographically diagnose appendicitis is to interorogate the point of maximal tenderness, and perform a graded compression study. If there is an inflammation in the RIF, there should be some…"
Lisa Comer replied to Jessica J Budd, RDMS's discussion ureteral calculi in the group Gynecologic Ultrasound Community
"I have seen distal ureteral calculi often; in fact, you can normally identify the UVJ with a partially full urinary bladder on everyone. The key is to not over distend the bladder. You may see ureteral peristalsis if the pt is well hydrated.…"

Syed Amir Gilani replied to Jessica J Budd, RDMS's discussion Ultrasound vs CT in neck imaging in the group General & Abdominal Ultrasound Community
"Imaging Modalities
Potential imaging modalities include conventional radiographs, ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and nuclear medicine. Conventional radiographs are used for evaluation of patients with…"
Dr.Muhammad Bashir Malik replied to Jessica J Budd, RDMS's discussion Ultrasound vs CT in neck imaging in the group General & Abdominal Ultrasound Community
"Dear Sir
One thing is very clear that ultrasound has advantage of non invasive as well as real time imaging modalities but few limitations especially for the extension of lesion and staging for malignant lesions however for vascular study and…"

Ultrasound vs CT in neck imaging
An excerpt of an article published in the European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology was recently brought to my attention. The excerpt discusses a study conducted by Dr. Michael Vaiman of Tel Aviv University's Sackler Faculty of Medicine about the use of Ultrasound over CT to identify neck anomalies & map neck arteries. Here is a link to the excerpt: …See More

"Does anyone have any scanning tips or techniques they use when performing SMA Doppler?"

"Thanks, very much. I need you send me pictures about it.appendix US of course"
Laura Burke replied to Jessica J Budd, RDMS's discussion US and acute appendicitis in the group General & Abdominal Ultrasound Community
"We have been doing more and more appendix evaluations with u/s in my facility and it took quite awhile to get confident in doing them. The ER docs are pretty confident if we don't see an appendix and the pt. doesn't…"
Darla J Matthew replied to Jessica J Budd, RDMS's discussion SMA Doppler in the group General & Abdominal Ultrasound Community
"The SMA should demonstrate a high resistance spectral Doppler display in a fasting patient. In a normal patient the diastolic flow in the SMA should increase (lower resistance) after the patient eats due to the increased demand for blood from the…"
Jessica J Budd, RDMS replied to Jessica J Budd, RDMS's discussion Angle correct for segmentals? in the group General & Abdominal Ultrasound Community
"That's how I was taught in school & trained at my hospital, too. That's why I'm confused. Does anyone out there angle correct?"
Carolyn DeLeo replied to Jessica J Budd, RDMS's discussion ureteral calculi in the group Gynecologic Ultrasound Community
"Jessica: Endovaginal imaging is a great way to image ureteral stones. Having it be an incidental finding would not be common. Typically the patient would be symptomatic. A differential would be arterial calcification."
geri clausen replied to Jessica J Budd, RDMS's discussion US and acute appendicitis in the group General & Abdominal Ultrasound Community
"I work for several different hospitals in my region with a collective agreement on US appendix protocol. Yes, aim for the visualilzation of a normal appendix. Also we will include images of Rt/Lt adnexa, and RUQ/LUQ as well as RLQ…"
