Aorta - Normal Aorta & Iliac Arteries - Transverse
Caption
At the center of the screen, the distal aorta lies anterior to a vertebral body. Sliding the probe caudally reveals the emergence of the iliac arteries. This clip is taken at the umbilicus level, transverse to the body’s axis, and with the probe marker oriented to the patient’s right.
