Metatarsal V
12.
Scan by moving the probe in a direction perpendicular to the
long mark for a distance of one to two centimeters in the
dorsal direction, and then back again to the starting point.
Repeat this movement continuously until the scan cycle
completes. Do not move the probe quickly.
Figure 15.13 Scanning the metatarsal V
To ensure accurate and reproducible results, note the
following:
•
The probe should be maintained parallel to the metatarsal
bone, never diagonal to it.
•
Never hold the probe at an angle to the surface of the limb.
The probe should be held so that the short dimension of its
surface is tangent to the bone while its long dimension is
parallel to the bone axis.
•
Do not use a circular motion. The probe movement should
follow parallel to the marked line.
•
Probe movement should extend at least 1 centimeter but not
more than 2 centimeters dorsal to the long marked line.
•
Maintain the probe’s surface in contact with the patient’s
skin throughout the scan. No part of the probe surface
should be raised from the skin at any point during the scan.
Hold the probe against
the flat surface of the
bone, and move it in a
range of one to two centi-
meters toward the dorsal
side and back, repeating
until the scan completes.
