It requires a significant ammount of probe force and is very difficult to get through. The same can be said of abdominal adipose in the sub xyphoid when attempting subcostal views. Both seem to have a dense composition.

I use fairly modern technology in both. Phillips IE 33 in the hospital and a GE Vivid 7 in the clinic. Even with the technology improvements there are patients who are difficult to image. But there are ways of manipulating the controls outside of "preset" values to try and optimize what is in view. I would enjoy knowing what type of research you have been involved in. Thanks for the reply.

I am very intersted in being able to utilize the advances in imaging technology to get the most diagnstic studies possible. I admit that I have quite a bit to learn, but you sound like the person to get this aspect of our profession into more of the mainstream thought process that should be (and likely are in many) incorporated in our studies. I will have many comments and questions regarding the instrumentation in the near future.
