With the patient in dorsal recumbency and the ultrasound probe in contact with the ventral abdomen you obtain a sagittal view of the urinary bladder. When looking at the image on the screen of the ultrasound machine the apex of the urinary bladder will be located to the left and the bladder neck to the right of the screen.

An x-ray detector is a device used to detect x-ray exposure following interaction of the x-ray beam with matter. The information collected by the detector is what is used to produce the radiograph. Examples of different types of detector devices include: x-ray film, photostimulable phosphor plate, flat panel detector and charged coupled device.

With respect to ultrasonographic evaluation of the abdomen, it is expected that lymph nodes would be more prominent in size in a normal geriatric patient than in a normal juvenile patient.
