Stomach imaging. Left: Probe position—this shows a sagittal probe orientation in the epigastric area. Right: The antrum (Ant) located immediately posterior to the left lobe of the liver (L). The pancreas (P) is typically hyperechoic and located posterior to the antrum. In this figure a cross-section of the splenic vein (SV) may be seen as it crosses the pancreas from right to left. Posterior to the pancreas you can see a longitudinal view of the aorta (Ao). Spine (S). (Courtesy of Anahi Perlas, University of Toronto and Toronto Western Hospital, Toronto, Canada)
