CHAPTER 7 Gallbladder and Biliary Tract Scanning Protocol 129
2. Once the gallbladder is identified, find its long axis. This can be accomplished by slightly twisting/rotating the transducer first one way, then the other, to oblique the scanning plane accord­ing to the lie of the gallbladder. Occasionally, no oblique is necessary.
NOTE: If the long axis of the gallbladder cannot be resolved in the sagit­tal plane, rotate the transducer 90 degrees into the transverse scanning plane. Remember that gallbladder lie is variable and the scanning plane must be adjusted accordingly.
3. Assuming the long axis is identified in the sagittal plane, begin the survey by very slightly rocking the transducer from right to left, sweeping through both side margins of the gallbladder while at the same time very slowly sliding inferiorly through and beyond the fundus.

4. Continue rocking and sliding and move the transducer back onto the fundus, then very slowly rock and slide superiorly, surveying through and beyond the gallbladder body and neck.

1. Relocate the gallbladder long axis in the sagittal plane. Move infe­riorly to view the fundus then very slowly rotate the transducer 90 degrees into the transverse plane. A round or oval axial section of the fundus will come into view.

Biliary Tract • Longitudinal Survey
Sagittal Plane • Transabdominal Anterior Approach • First Patient Position
1. Begin scanning by relocating the long axis of the gallbladder. Iden­tify the neck, main lobar fissure, and portal vein. Look for a small, anechoic, longitudinal section of the common duct just anterior to the portal vein. It may be necessary to very slightly twist/rotate the transducer, first one way, then the other to oblique the scanning plane according to the lie of the duct and to resolve its long axis.
NOTE: The common duct usually lies at a right angle to the costal margin. NOTE: In a sagittal oblique plane, at the level of the porta hepatis, the portal vein will be traversed, seen as round or oval, in a short axis/axial section. Just inferior to this level, the portal vein appears longitudinal as it runs posterior and parallel to the common duct.
2. Barely rock the transducer right to left, sweeping through both sides of the common duct and at the same time very slowly slide the transducer slightly superior and right lateral to survey through and beyond the margin of the proximal portion of the duct. The distance moved is very small.
NOTE: Notice the appearance of the small, anechoic, axial section of the hepatic artery running between the long sections of the duct and the portal vein.

3. Move the transducer just inferior, back onto the duct then return to the level of the gallbladder neck and main lobar fissure.
4. Continue the survey by barely rocking the transducer right to left and at the same time very slowly slide the transducer slightly inferior and medial to scan through and beyond the distal portion of the duct at the level of the head of the pancreas. The distance moved is very small.
132 PART III Abdominal Scanning Protocols
Remain at this level to begin the axial survey of the duct.
RT
NOTE: The distal portion of the duct or CBD can be difficult to visualize for the short distance that it runs behind the duodenum due to overlying bowel gas. When this occurs, continue to scan through the duodenum and pick up the duct again just on the other side of the duodenum or at the head of the pancreas. To visualize this retroduodenal portion of the duct, some institutions have patients drink enough water to fill the duodenum. The water displaces the bowel gas and serves as an acoustic “window” to view the duct.

Biliary Tract • Axial Survey
Transverse Plane • Transabdominal Anterior Approach • First Patient Position
NOTE: Because of the small diameter of the common duct, a complete axial survey can be difficult. Therefore, when measurements are within normal limits it is acceptable to evaluate the axial sections of the prox­imal portion of the duct (the CHD) at the level of the GB neck and the distal portion of the duct (the CBD) at the level of the head of the pancreas.
1. While still in the sagittal plane relocate the long axis of the com­mon bile duct (CBD) at the level of the head of the pancreas. Very slowly rotate the transducer 90 degrees into the transverse plane. Look for the small, round, anechoic section of the CBD within the posterolateral portion of the pancreas head. In most cases, the small axial section of the gastroduodenal artery can also be identi­fied anterior to the CBD in the anterolateral portion of the pan­creas head.
CHAPTER 7 Gallbladder and Biliary Tract Scanning Protocol 133
2. Return to the sagittal plane and relocate the long axis view of the gallbladder neck. Move the transducer slightly superior to the neck and a longitudinal section of the common hepatic duct (CHD) anterior to the portal vein should come into view. Resolve the long axis of the duct then very slowly rotate the transducer 90 degrees into the transverse plane. Look for the small, round, anechoic sec­tion of the CHD anterior to the portal vein.

Follow the same survey steps used for the first patient position for lon­gitudinal and axial gallbladder surveys and longitudinal and axial surveys of the common duct.

Gallbladder and Biliary Tract Required Images

NOTE: The required images are a small representation of what a sonog-
rapher visualizes during a study. Therefore, the images should provide the interpreting physician with the most telling and technically accurate information available.

NOTE: Gallbladder wall thickness is typically evaluated from the short­axis. Measure the anterior wall at its most narrow point. Remember to keep the transducer perpendicular to the gallbladder wall for an accu­rate measurement.

NOTE: Images of the common duct may be taken in the second patient position if the duct was better visualized in that position during the survey. Also, common duct images can be magnified to aide physician interpretation. NOTE: As a general rule, CHD measurements are only required when the CBD measurement is abnormal. NOTE: The longitudinal image of the CHD can be omitted if the duct was well visualized on the longitudinal image of the gallbladder neck or long axis gallbladder images.
