Cirrhosis one image of the surface contour of the liver, obtained using linear transducer, labeled Liver Surface Contour
31
Cirrhosis In the presence of cirrhosis, the patient is at risk for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Therefore, in a patient with chronic hepatitis (potentially undiagnosed cirrhosis) or cirrhosis, the entire liver should be screened for the presence of a liver mass which could represent HCC, and the following cines should be obtained: one sagittal cine of the entire right lobe of the liver, from the lateral right margin through the porta hepatis, labeled Liver Long Rt-Lt one transverse cine of the entire right lobe of the liver, from the dome through the inferior margin, labeled Liver Trans Sup-Inf one sagittal cine of the entire left lobe of the liver, from the porta hepatis through the lateral left margin, labeled Liver Long Rt-Lt one transverse cine of the entire left lobe of the liver, from the superior margin through the inferior margin, labeled Liver Trans Sup-Inf

Thyroid Nodules
42
Thyroid nodule reminder….. Estimate total number of nodules. Location of up to five documented on the OLF. Largest measured in three planes in each lobe. Nodules under 10mm do not need to be measured. Most importantly…..look for worrisome characteristics of any nodule and get a good sweep of it.

CRL vs MSD

Do not average CRL with MSD.. Only use the CRL when you can get a good reproducible CRL measurement.

Patient Satisfaction Survey
54
Is that your Boob or your kid? > The tech was in teaching mode which I understand but at a certain point I think they forgot that I was still a person in the room. They kept saying things like "see that, that's really alarming - definitely get that" and "that's very concerning - really concerning, the Dr will want that for sure".
