Gallbladder Ultrasound Probe Positioning | Transducer Placement & Scanning | Abdominal USG

Gallbladder Ultrasound Probe Positioning | Transducer Placement & Scanning | Abdominal USG

- With the patient in supine position, place probe in the midclavicular line in longitudinal orientation just below the right costal margin.
- Gallbladder position varies in individuals. Scan in the Right Upper Quadrant to locate gallbladder.
- Rotate the probe in a way that the indicator faces in a direction between patient’s head and right shoulder to view the gallbladder in longitudinal view (Clockwise/anticlockwise rotation).
- Angle the probe forwards and backwards to scan the gallbladder thoroughly.
- If there is difficulty in scanning, ask the patient to take a deep breath.
- Rotate the probe 90 degrees anticlockwise to scan the gallbladder in transverse view.
- Angle the probe forwards and backwards to scan the gallbladder thoroughly.
- For an intercostal approach, place the probe between the lower rib spaces in the midclavicular line, with the indicator directed towards the patient’s head.
- If there are too many rib shadows, direct the indicator to face the patient’s right shoulder and rotate the probe accordingly (clockwise and anticlockwise rotation).
- Roll the patient to left side and place the probe in longitudinal orientation around midclavicular line.
- This position brings the gallbladder forward and moves the bowels away from it. Gallbladder is easier to locate if there is difficulty in supine position scanning.
