What are shadowing and enhancement artifacts?
20
Shadowing
21
Enhancement
22
Define hyperechoic, hypoechoic, and anechoic.
23
Hyperechoic (diaphragm) Hypoechoic (renal cortex)
24
Anechoic
25
What is depth and gain?
26
Object of interest
Too Deep = wasted screen space Too Shallow = entire object of interest not in screen
28
Gain
Undergained: Tissue inappropriately appears anechoic Overgained: Fluid has internal echoes
29
What are common probe types and its uses?
30
Linear 5-10 MHz Curvilinear 2-5 MHz Phased Array 1-5 MHz
Procedures Vessels Pleura Skin MSK Abdomen Lung IVC Abdomen Lung IVC Heart
What is frequency, and how does this relate to penetration and resolution?

RIB
Must identify pleura in the ribspace
Exam Technique
PLEURA AIR ARTIFACT
Pneumothorax
Sliding Pleura: Normal
45
Seashore: Normal
SEA SHORE
46
Bar Code: Pneumothorax
47
B-Lines: No pneumothorax
48
A-Lines: Normal Pleura (or pneumothorax)
49
Lung Point: Pneumothorax
Infant with respiratory distress syndrome. B-lines present on one side. Transition to an area (pneumothorax) where A-lines (horizontal lines) are present without B-lines (comet tails). The transition point is the LUNG POINT.

Interpretation Summary Pneumothorax excluded: lung-sliding, seashore sign, B-line (lung rocket) Pneumothorax possible: lung-sliding absence & barcode sign Other causes of no lung-sliding:
COPD/asthma attack (stiff lungs) Effusions Consolidations Adhesions Chest tubes Pleurodesis Subcutaneous emphysema
Pneumothorax present: lung-point

Ultrasound Machine Care
Never drop transducers Never roll over cords Keep machine plugged in after use Clean after use with appropriate wipes Use least energy possible (avoid Doppler, minimize scan time, turn off after use)
