A member asked:
On an abdominal aortic ultrasound do u c the aorta up to the knob around the diaphragm area? do u always watch the same length?

Uz: You can see most of the abdominal aorta on abdominal ultrasound in most people. You try and image as much of it as you can. There is no 'knob' in the abdominal aorta.
