The "Perisplenic View" of the FAST
This week's Image of the Week is brought to us by Drs. Ryan Stroder and Carolyn Overman.
This is an image of a patient with free fluid in the abdomen. It is the "perisplenic" view of the FAST exam.
The probe is placed in the posterior axillary line, with the orientation marker towards the head.
Notice that fluid accumulates between the spleen and diaphragm, NOT between the spleen and kidney. This is VERY different than the opposite side, where fluid collects between the liver and kidney in Morison's pouch.
