What are the four sections of the IVC?
1) hepatic
2) prerenal
3) renal
4) post renal
Where is the IVC located?
The IVC is one of the two great abdominal vessels, the other being the aorta.
What is the IVC formed by?
The convergence of the common iliac veins
What is the size of the IVC?
2.5 cm
What is the size of the common iliac veins
1.6-1.8 cm
Which common iliac vein is slightly longer than the other?
The left common iliac vein is slightly longer than the right common iliac vein
at 7.5 cm and 5.5 cm
What kind of test is preformed to cause the IVC to momentarily colapse?
The "sniff test"
Due to varying respiration what measurement should the IVC not exceed?
3.7 cm
What sonographic appearances does the IVC have?
- Anechoic lumen
- thin bright echogenic walls
- respiratory variation
What sonographic appearances does the IVC have in sagital view?
-hepatic section
-tubular
-elastic structure posterior to the liver
Hepatic veins increase in diameter as they enter what?
IVC
What Sonographic appearances does the left renal vein have in a transverse
scanning plane?
-longitudinal structure
-curvilinear structure
-emptying into medial aspect of the IVC
What can the right renal vein also be seen as in transverse scanning?
A longitudinal curvilinear structure that is seen emptying into the lateral
aspect of the IVC
What veins are not consistently imaged.
