    Basic physics of USSound is a mechanical wave,it is a series of pressure waves propagating through a medium.

    Audible range of sound frequency for humans is 20 Hzto 20 kHz , so ultrasound By Definition is greater than20 kHzMedical ultrasound is performed in the range of 2 20

    MHz

    Basic physics of USSound waves are expressed as sine waves with thefollowing properties:

    1- Wavelength ( )2- Frequency (f) : The higher the frequency, the better theresolution and the lower the penetration .

    3- Propagation Velocity (v) : expressed by the Wave Equation v= f In soft tissue propagation velocity is relatively constant at 1540m/sec. Hence wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency

    Basic physics of US4- Amplitude : is the height above the baseline andrepresents maximal compression. It is expressed indecibels.

    US Modes A mode :a display of ultrasonicechoes in which thehorizontal axis of the

    cathode ray tube display represents the timerequired for the return of the echo and the verticalaxis represents thestrength of the echo. Themode is used inechoencephalography

    US ModesM Mode : M-mode stands formotion mode. Itcaptures returningechoes in only one lineof the B-mode image butdisplays them over a timeaxis. Movement of structures positioned inthat line can now be visualized. Often M-mode and B-mode aredisplayed together onthe ultrasound monitor

    Abdomen USGeneral points for imaging upper abdomen :1-Always scan any organ in at least two planes ,

    to reduces the risk of missing pathology and helps todifferentiate artifact from true pathology.2- Use a combination of sub- and intercostal .3- never limit the scan to longitudinal andtransverse sections.4- Deep inspiration can be useful.

    GallbladderThe normal gallbladder is best visualized after fasting for around sixhours, it should be distended withbile into an elongated pear-shapedsac.It should have a hyperechoic, thin

    wall and contain anechoic bile Wall thickness of gallbladder notmore than 3 mm.(GB wall ismeasured at the most narrow pointof the anterior wall in the short-axis)GB diameter 4- 5 cm and the longaxis from 8-12 cm

    GallbladderDuodenum mimicking gallbladder pathologyThe close proximity of the duodenum to theposterior gallbladder wall often causes it toinvaginate the gallbladder turn the patient to causethe duodenal contents to move.

    Common bile ductThe internal diameter of the common duct is reported tobe In adults, the average diameter o 4 mm. less than 6 mmis considered to be normal, 6 to 7 mm is equivocal, andmore than 7 mm is dilated. may be more than 8 mm ineldery pt .Patients with a cholecystectomy CBD is dilated, but non-obstructed 10 mm .

    PancreasThe most useful technique is to start by scanning theepigastrium in transverse plane, using the left lobe of theliver as an acoustic window. In adult , the pancreas is

    hyperechoic compared to normal liver.The normal stomach or duodenum can mimic pancreaticpathology if the patient is insufficiently fasted , Giving thepatient a drink of water usually differentiates the

    gastrointestinal tract from a collection.

    SpleenThe normal spleen has a fine, homogeneous withsmooth margins and a pointed inferior edge. It hassimilar echogenicity to the liver but may be slightly hypo- or hyperechoic . A splenic length of below 12 cm is generally considerednormal .

    KidneysThe right kidney is readily demonstrated through theright lobe of the liverThe left kidney is not usually demonstrable sagittally because it lies posterior to the stomach and splenicflexure. The spleen can be used as an acoustic window tothe upper pole by scanning coronally, from the patientsleft side, with the patient supine or decubitus (left side

    raised) . Normal ultrasound appearances of the kidneysThe cortex of the normal kidney is slightly hypoechoic when compared to the adjacent liver parenchym

    Urinary bladderPt. preparation :Full bladder .

    To show bladder outline ,window for prostate anduterus .When the bladder is distended with urine, the wallsare thin, regular and hyperechoic. The walls may

    appear thickened if the bladder is insufficiently distended, making it impossible to exclude a bladderlesion.
