Transducer Orientation
By convention for all of our images we orient the transducer indicator (gold star) in a consistent direction for all images/videos. Please conceptualize the anatomical plane when when interpreting the scan. For example, if the elbow is flexed and pronated, we still have our indicator oriented in the anatomical position.
Transverse (axial) plane:
In the Anterior-Posterior Axis: The transducer indicator is always Lateral.
