Medmastery: Liver ultrasound
The team at Medmastery are providing LITFL readers with a series of FOAMed courses from across their website. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be posting videos from their Abdominal Ultrasound Essentials course.
In this video we explain how to perform standard ultrasound sections of the liver using the best sound windows, positioning your patient correctly for smoother imaging, and locating various components of the liver.
