S - suprarenal (renal) glands
A - aorta/ivc
D - duodenum
P - pancreas
U - ureters
C - colon
K - kidneys
E - esophagus
R - rectum
which organ is located within the anterior pararenal space
pancreas
intraperitoneal organs
G - gallbladder
L - liver
O - ovaries
S - spleen
S - some bowel
S- stomach
exudate =
transudate =
ex = malignant
trans = b9
what demonstrates increased end diastolic flow velocities
post prandial sma
the lesser sac is located
between stomach and panc
inferior to diaphragm (between diaphragm and liver)
subphrenic
inferior to liver
subhepatic
increased end-diastolic velocities also means
low resistance
decreased end- diastolic velocities also means
high resistance
terms that describe low resistance
increased end diastolic velocity
decreased pulsatility
decreased impedance
3 compartments of the retroperitoneum
perirenal space, anterior and posterior pararenal space
proximal means
where its coming from
distal means
where its going
high frequency =
high resoluton, low penetration
low frequency =
low resolution, high penetration
release hormones into the bloodstream
endocrine organs
release enzymes through ducts
exocrine
compression u/s can be beneficial for
