🚨 Longitudinal aortic view See the celiac trunk & SMA branching from the aorta! Bonus: Left liver lobe, GE junction, pancreas A must-know sweep for abdominal sono! #POCUS #Ultrasound #Aorta #SMA #FOAMed

🩻 Chronic Pancreatitis on Ultrasound Look for: 🔹 Echogenic, atrophic pancreas 🔹 Irregular margins 🔹 Dilated pancreatic duct 🔹 Parenchymal calcifications Often linked to alcohol use, chronic inflammation, or obstruction. #FOAMed #MedTwitter

🧠 Liver metastases on ultrasound often appear as hyperechoic, inhomogeneous nodules with a classic hypoechoic halo 🔍 The halo = compressed liver tissue or edema ➡️ a key sign of malignancy, especially in colorectal, breast, or lung cancer. #POCUS #LiverMets #Sonography #FOAMed

🩺 Acute appendicitis on ultrasound? Look for a blind-ending, non-compressible tubular structure >6 mm, thickened wall, and surrounding fat stranding. Start your scan at the iliac vessels + trace the iliopsoas—often leads you right to the appendix 🧭 #POCUS #FOAMed

🔬 Yesterday’s EUS-FNB of a large pancreatic mass 🧠 Always fascinating to see how others approach this! 💉 Which technique do you prefer for sampling? •🌀 Slow-pull technique •🧲 Dry suction •💧 Wet suction technique •🔬 Macroscopic on-site evaluation (MOSE) or ROSE?

🕊️ Which vessel are we looking at here — the one that looks like a flying seagull? Hint: classic view in abdominal ultrasound! 👀 Drop your thoughts below ⬇️ Let’s see who gets it right! 🧠🩻 #Ultrasound #Sonography #POCUS #FOAMed #Radiology #MedEd #SonoTrivia #SeagullSign

📸 Acute cholecystitis on ultrasound? Look for: ✅ Gallstones/sludge ✅ Wall thickening >3 mm ✅ Pericholecystic fluid ✅ Positive sonographic Murphy’s sign Fast diagnosis = key to avoid perforation or empyema. #POCUS #FOAMed #EmergencyMedicine #Cholecystitis

📍 Post-cholecystectomy hematoma? Think: new pain, mass, or Hb drop after surgery. 🔎 US shows a non-vascular, hypoechoic/complex collection near GB fossa. Early detection = better outcomes! #Ultrasound #POCUS #Surgery #EmergencyMedicine

🧠 Ultrasound 101 – Celiac Trunk The celiac trunk is the 1st branch off the abdominal aorta, dividing into the hepatic & splenic arteries giving us the classic “seagull sign” 🕊️. Know your anatomy to recognize pathology! #Ultrasound #POCUS #SonoTips

🎯 Ultrasound in Ulcerative Colitis inflammatory stenosis in UC: 🔹 Marked wall thickening 🔹 Narrowed lumen 🔹 Stool pushing through the stricture Bowel US is an underrated but powerful tool in #IBD InternationalBowelUS #FOAMed #POCUS

Why communication in ultrasound matters 🗣️ How much do you talk to your patients about the diagnosis? Do you have enough time to fully talk it through? 💭What are your thoughts on this? Let me know and let‘s discuss it ⬇️

Renal Cysts 🧪 & the Bosniak Classification – Know the Risk! 🔹 Bosniak I: Simple, benign 🔹 II–IIF: Thin septa, maybe follow-up 🔹 III: Suspicious walls/septa 🔹 IV: Solid enhancement = 🚨 RCC risk Illustration mdpi.com/2072-6694/12/8… #FOAMed #ultrasound

🫁 Lung ultrasound basics – Want to learn with me? Start with: 🔹 A-lines = normal air-filled lung 🔹 Lung sliding = pleural contact (no pneumothorax) No sliding? Think 🫣 pneumothorax Stay tuned for more lung sono tips! #POCUS #LungUltrasound #FOAMed #Ultrasound #MedEd

One of the best tools in #ibd monitoring and disease control. RIQ is the main spot for Crohn’s disease, so check for iliac vessels and scan upward from there. Do you use #bowelultrasound? Let me know below 👇

Pancreatic pathologies quiz solved ✅ 1 - round, anechoic, „comes and goes“ - Cyst 2 - slightly prominent pancreatic duct 3 - hypoechoic, rectangle/ovale structure, in the pancreatic head - ventral bud/root Especially No. 3 is a tricky one! #FOAMed #ultrasound
