The Gallbladder Halo Sign: More than Anaphylaxis
نویسنده
چکیده
Introduction: The target-organ approach of AFAST SM and the AFAST SM -applied fluid scoring system, the FAST DH view, and the TFAST SM format that also assesses heart and lung, encourages the sonographer using these abbreviated formats to look beyond the simplified objective of fluid-positive or fluid-negative FAST approaches.
