For receiving subkostal patient position stack on back , exactly , with a low headboard ( without a pillow ). The legs of the patient with this little bend at lap ( you can put a roller ). Images of the best qualities are obtained on inhale with a relaxed anterior abdominal wall . Sensor position : under the xiphoid process . On sensor marker board : on the left shoulder . Available for structure analysis – as for four position cameras . Subcostal position is especially useful when those canonically complex transthoracic studies with the presence in the patient expressed obesity , deformation of the rib cage , emphysema lung . From subcostal position better , than of four- dimensional , visualized lower vena cavaand pechenoch nye veins , abdominal department of aorta , WFP , pericardial effusion .
Supersternal access
For receiving Images of suprasternal patient access stack on back . Under shoulders UCLA dyval pillow , that allows to achieve the maximum bending of the neck . The head turns slightly to the left . Position hands and feet as well as the respiratory phase not affect on quality Images of of this access .
Position of the sensor : nadgrudinny fossa . The direction of the marker sensor : on the left temporo – mandibular joint .
Available for structure analysis :
. aorta ( ascending , arch , descending );
