Thompson test
What is the most likely cause of a hip joint effusion in infants?
Transient synovitis
3 keys you can use to identify foreign bodies:
Use a linear array Use a standoff pad Comet tail artifacts may be seen posterior to metal objects
Can tendonitis yield hyperemic flow?
Yes
Name 3 things that are true of Ganglion cysts:

Baker cyst
Ganglion cyst is also referred to as?
Bible bump

Graf
The achilles tendon connects the:
Heel to the calf muscle
What would be a benign tumor comprised of blood vessels?
Hemangioma
What transducer would be best suited to sonographically assess for a splinter in a patients hand?
High frequency linear array transducer
Superficial lipomas may appear as:
Hypo, Hyper or Isoechoic to surrounding tissues
Sonographically, normal muscle appears as:

DVT - deep vein thrombosis
What is mastitis associated with most commonly?
Breastfeeding
What best describes the Thompson test?
Calf is squeezed and foot should plantarflex in a patient who does not have a complete tear of the achilles tendon.
Inflammation and infection of the skin and and subcutaneous tissue is termed:
Cellulitis
Bullets, shrapnel, and other metallic objects may cause
