What do the letters on the ultrasound mean?

Patient's question:

I just received my ultrasound report recently, but I can't understand it because there are many items listed, and each one is represented by a letter. So I want to ask what the letters on the ultrasound report represent?

Doctor's answer:

The ultrasound report contains many symbols, as the meaning of the letters varies depending on the area being examined. For example, liver examinations, heart examinations, or gynecological color Doppler ultrasound examinations all have their specific meanings. For instance, a heart color Doppler ultrasound examination 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.
