We've been doing point of care ultrasound (POCUS) at the office now for several years.
This is a blood clot in a leg. In trying to compress the popliteal vein (on top) I ended up compressing the popliteal artery but the anatomy here is clear and confirmed by Doppler (not shown).

We've been doing point of care ultrasound (POCUS) at the office now for several years. This is a blood clot in a leg. In trying to compress the popliteal vein (on top) I ended up compressing the popliteal artery but the anatomy here is clear and confirmed by Doppler (not shown).

We found several subtle pneumonias requiring antibiotics amid the many recent COVID evaluations using ultrasound in the office. This is not one of those. This is an office ultrasound (POCUS) done to diagnose and estimate size of a pleural effusion (fluid around the lung) suspected on chest x-rays of a pneumonia diagnosed in the ER earlier this month.
