Abstract
The topographic anatomy and the separate evaluation of the fetal abdomen during scanning, warrant a chapter on its ultrasound anatomy. The sonoanatomic features of the genitourinary tract are discussed in Chap. 9. Table 8.1 lists the abbreviations that are used to label anatomic structures in the illustrations. As in other body areas, evaluation of the abdomen should begin with a general survey that includes scrutiny of the abdominal outline. This may be done by obtaining an AP sagittal scan through the trunk that is reasonably unobscured by the extremities, or by examining the anterior abdominal surface for defects or protrusions during serial transverse scans.
