RUQ Sagittal View
Image Library
The RUQ Sagittal View, like the axial view, can be used to visualize the liver parenchyma, gallbladder and common bile duct, as well as vasculature in and around the liver. Traditionally, when trying to find the gallbladder, one starts in the sagittal view.
Use the ultrasound images to familiarize yourself with the appearance of the relevant structures on ultrasound.
Compare ultrasound images to corresponding CT images to orient yourself to the anatomy and become familiar with the common scanning planes for ultrasonography.
CT and Ultrasound Images
Below you will find sagittal slices of a CT Abdomen/Pelvis along side a corresponding sagittal ultrasound image. Scroll through the different images to familiarize yourself with how the different anatomic structures appear on both imaging modalities, and their anatomic relationships with one another.
The videos below demonstrate scrolling through the above ultrasound images and the CT images, and you can start and stop them at your own pace.
