Ultrasound Principles & Instrumentation - Orientation & Imaging Planes
Ultrasound orientation & imaging planes explained clearly by point-of-care ultrasound expert Joshua Jacquet, MD of www.medcram.com/?Y...
Ultrasound is EXPLODING in popularity among medical professionals & clinicians...and for good reason.
Quite simply, ultrasound often makes diagnosing medical problems & performing procedures faster, safer & more cost effective.
Physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, technicians & other professionals can benefit from ultrasound in almost every medical setting & specialty
Ultrasound that is performed by the clinician, at the bedside, is called many names: clinical ultrasound, bedside ultrasound, & point of care ultrasound (POCUS).
MedCram.com Instructor & Ultrasound expert Dr. Jacquet illustrates a key skill in this video: How to orient the ultrasound probe with what is seen on screen and understand the associated imaging planes.
Dr. Jacquet recently joined the MedCram team and we've launched the first of several "Ultrasound Principles & Instrumentation Explained Clearly" courses.
Master the foundations of bedside ultrasound/point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) with this course available here:

This is so helpful! I’m gonna use this when I get accepted into a sonography program :)
I've just started my USG course. Just attended the first class which was the introduction and I didn't really understand what I was seeing on the monitor. Because it looked really confusing from the real anatomical pictures. Now, after watching the video I can understand that it's actually like cut sections. It's very much helpful to understand what I'm actually seeing when I know the plane. Thanks.
I'm a first semester student in Sonography and this was incredibly useful in visualising the scanning planes, plus I love how you I would guess the planes prior and you would answer for me. Really incredibly helpful thank you for this upload!!

Ugh. Finally explained concisely. Thank you for thisss. ♥️
I start scan labs next month. This is so exciting!
Had to watch the video twice but i finally got it... Nice video.
This is very helpful. There were underlying comments which i did not like. I hope this can be corrected along with the wifii in my home which has strong and new security conpany. This video was so educational and i learnt a lot from it to use in my educational and personal life. Stay blessed
Very simply and perfectly explained
Thank you for putting this together. It was very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
VERY HELPFUL! thank you!!
This is the very thing,no body made me clear during my radio posting ❤❤
I found this very interesting and easy to understand thank you very much😊
Thank you so much!! This video was really helpful ❤️
Good presentation , love it.
helpful even for a patient ! Much appreciated :) don't want to waste time on curiosities. - but this answered a lot
excellent teacher.
thanku.. plz put up the next video asap :)
excellently summed up
Nice video.thanks .
The transvaginal scans and anatomy planes are somewhat difficult- is there a video available for that type of adaptation for a sonongrapher- I’m learning to adjust my viewpoint but any advice to aid in the scanning planes such as this would be so helpful from your expertise .
I’m a fifth year medical student that was really helpful hopefully you upload more and more 😄😄
same here
the best class in US instrumentation!! congrats from Brazil

What a useful video!!!
This was so helpful
Great video! Thanks it helped a lot. I look forward to more of your educational ultrasound videos! 😊
Thanks! We're working on a Pulmonary Ultrasound Course that will be finished soon!
Beautiful video ❤️❤️
Thank you for the clear explanation .I am now going to be a good sonographer from now onwards.how do I get your new videos especially in obs and gynae
Very clear.
Excellent 👌
very nice explain to help
you're the best...thank you
Thanks, that was great!
Thank you!!
Very informative thank you
Would you make the translation option available so that those who do not speak English can translate the writing, thereby benefiting more of it?
Thank you!!!
Very nice ..thx...helpd me alot
Good to hear!
Helpfull information
nice video
Thank you
Informative
Can you please let me know the difference between echogenicity and echotexture sir?
thanks very nice
Good explanation......any video about musculoskeletal ultrasound????

Helpful
Thanks
Why is that the second part on use and types of transducers is not there . But this video (3rd part ) is starting by saying that it has completed studying about transducers . But I couldn't find any video about ultrasound transducers . Why is it like that ? Straight away this video is explaining about orientation of USG. MAY I KNOW WHY IS THAT LIKE THAT?
one question is there a possibility for MedCram to explain CLEARLY how to interpret an MRI?
Idel Fernandez, do what I did, just Google "interpreting MRIs by PHD"
can you send me the link?

I LIKE DIS
I get confused with the pocus subxiphoid view since the RA/LA are on the left side of the screen & the RA/LV are on the right. It’s like it’s an upside down image in relation to its anatomical location in the body.
Generally, when you perform echocardiography you are looking at an isolated organ and the orientation principles that are explained here don't necessarily apply for ECHO. If you get too confused turn the probe clockwise and you'll get the anatomical image.
sir please let me know how to read a ultrasound, to confirm baby girl or baby boy.
Two weeks into my sono program, my association of where the imaging begins from the indicator was all wrong.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
First of all, thanks for making this video! I find it very helpful! Second... can someone explain me this: GE and HD letters (maybe he explained it but i didn't understand that part because english is not my native language so although I have been learning english for 13 years, I still struggle with it .-.)... Wether I see an GE or HD on the screen, those indicate where this indicator (on the transductor) is, right? Specifically when I see the GE, this means that we are looking at a sagital view? and specifically when I see the HD, means that we are looking at a transversal view? Please, explain me :c I don't get those letterS (GE and HD)
Dulce Miranda these are just the manufacturers symbols. GE=General electric...the important part is that these symbols are the indicator on the screen.
As Joshua already explained these letters are just a symbol from a manufacturer of the US machine, it can be just a dot or a symbol. The main thing is that when you perform an exam (except echocardiography) the symbol on the screen MUST be on the left side of the screen. You can get confused because when you start an ultrasound machine sometimes the symbol will be on the right side of the screen, just because the preset is made that way and then you'll get an image that is rotated. On every machine, you have a knob L/R and Up/down so you can set the machine the right way.
Dear sir, I just don't get it why the arrow pointing left but it's right? :D
who here is reminded of engineering drawings?
Why does the liver not appear?
Would purchase the whole series if it wasn't so expensive. $50 for ~1 hour of video content? The demopgraphic this is marketed to, ie trainees, doesnt have that to spend
I think the target is universities and not individual students.
That looks very complicated. I'm trying to be a neurosonographer.
