Ultrasound use in daily medical practice is becoming increasingly prevalent. A basic understanding of ultrasound equipment is needed for success in using ultrasound for diagnostic and procedural guidance. Fortunately, appropriate probe selection is not difficult, and optimization of a target and/or needle visualization require only a few maneuvers with adjustments that are easily mastered. This chapter will review the basic equipment, machine settings, image optimization and nomenclature needed for bedside ultrasound use.
