Inguinal Canal Ultrasound Probe Position & Scanning Techniques For Hernias In Transverse Views USG Support the channel on Patreon: patreon.com/drsamsimaginglibrary Patient Preparation: Position: Supine initially; repeat in standing and Valsalva maneuvers if needed. Expose the lower abdomen and inguinal regions bilaterally. Explain the importance of straining (Valsalva) during the scan. Probe Selection: Transducer: High-frequency linear probe (7–15 MHz). For obese patients, use a curvilinear probe (3–5 MHz) if needed. Use color Doppler to assess blood flow Scanning Technique: Place the probe transversely above the inguinal ligament, just lateral to the rectus abdominis. Use color Doppler to visualize inferior epigastric vessels as pulsatile structures coming off the external iliac artery. Slide the probe inferolaterally toward the deep inguinal ring. Look for bulging or protrusion of fat/bowel with or without Valsalva. Inferior epigastric artery and vein: Use color Doppler to identify pulsatile flow. These vessels emerge from the external iliac vessels. Slide the probe laterally along the inguinal ligament toward the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS). This follows the course of the inguinal canal.
