  • This lesson, i will say is highly recommended for all sonogropher around the globe. It aligns with whatever I've ever come across professionally.

    I am really pleased learning the entire widows with corresponding organs. I think I'm enlightened about the whole abdominal scan, and I'm gonna do better than before. I've usually struggled with the windows, specifically for the spleen. Now I've got the technique and I'm gonna try it on my next patient.

    I would have loved to see the bowel, stomach, appendix being scanned as well, I think those are my worries doing an abdominal scan
