title: [Section planes of sonographic epigastric diagnosis. Suggestion for standardization and codes in photodocumentation].
abstract: The positioning of the patient's body, the sectional plane employed (standardized as far as possible in the form as stated) and the respiratory position at the time of freezing of the setting, are inscribed on the margin of the viewing screen in three-digit coded form for identifying the photographic documentation. This group of three alphanumeric symbols can be extended by five further groups of three symbols each for accurate three-dimensional recording of the sectional planes in sonographic upper abdomen diagnosis. The point of contact of the ultrasonic applicator, which can be determined by previous skin markings (longitudinal position, transverse position) as well as its angular deviations from the plane of reference (rotation, tilt and inclination) are observed visually after adequate training. Input of the data to the viewing screen is effected via the instrument keyboard.
