What does the letter "Y" on an ultrasound report mean?

Patient's question:

Recently, I just received my ultrasound report, but I can't understand it because there are many items on it. However, one item is represented by the letter "y," so I want to ask what the letter "y" on the ultrasound report stands for?

Doctor's answer:

The ultrasound report contains many symbols, as the meaning of the letters can vary depending on the area being examined. For example, liver examinations, cardiac examinations, or gynecological color Doppler ultrasound examinations all have their specific meanings. For instance, a cardiac color Doppler ultrasound may show the left ventricle, right ventricle, left atrium, or right atrium, as well as representations of major arteries. It primarily displays the size of these organs and whether there are any abnormalities in their structural morphology.
