- How to think through an ultrasound examAn ultrasound exam starts before the gel: clinical question, acoustic window, image optimization, medico-legal documentation and an objective report.
- Ultrasound planes, image orientation and transducer movementsProbe and screen markers, longitudinal, transverse, oblique and coronal planes, and the six hand movements that build a documentable ultrasound image.
- Ultrasound image optimizationDepth, gain, TGC, focus and frequency: how to turn a confusing screen into a documentable image, and how to read shadowing, posterior enhancement and anisotropy.
- Essential Doppler in ultrasoundColor, power and spectral Doppler: when to use each mode, how to set box, PRF, angle, gain and filter, and how to recognize aliasing, blooming and false absence of flow.
- Documenting and writing a normal reportHow to turn scanning, images and measurements into a clear, defensible normal report: scope, minimum image, comparison with priors and honest conclusion.
