Figure 2 Maximal transverse section of the proximal stomach. A: After acquiring the previous sagittal section, the probe is rotated about 90° to show the maximal transverse diameter (dotted line with double arrow), in which the left diaphragm (LD) and left liver (LL) are simultaneously depicted; B: In measuring maximal proximal gastric diameter, the cursors are placed on the echogenic mucosal surfaces of the lesser and greater curvatures. LL and the arrow indicate left liver and left diaphragm, respectively. PS: Proximal stomach.
