Again I had to miss this lab, trust me would have much rather been in class than dealing with everything else. In this lab all the parts of the abdomen we have been dealing with were supposed to be scanned and imaged. I chose to attach two pictures of the GB I was able to take in another lab. I have attached a picture of the gallbladder in long taken both with the patient in the supine and left lateral decubitis position. In my opionion the picure I took with the patient in decub is a better image of the gallbladder in its true long. You really get a good look at the length of the gallbladder. Also from what I remember it was an easier image for me to acquire. In the supine position you don't really get the length that you do in the decub. Plus there are times you have more gas to contend with, depending on your patient. I do like how easy it is to locate and scan the gallbladder. Well, I guess I should say as of now it is easy. Of course we have been dealing with pretty easy patients. I have not had to deal with any obese patients, or hard to scan patients based on pathology or anything. I do feel comfortable about obtaining these issues.
