The classic intraabdominal positives at the DH view are usually seen while fanning away from the tabletop in the following locations: the near‐field to the gallbladder, between the divisions of the liver lobes, between the liver and the diaphragm, and between the liver lobes and the falciform ligament and fat. In the near‐field, the falciform ligament and fat, which can be robust even in thin cats, are typically hyperechoic (bright) in the near‐field, having a coarser, brighter echotexture (hyperechoic) relative to the liver (see Figure 6.10 and Chapter 39).

The most common AFAST positive views in low‐scoring AFS 1 and AFS 2 bluntly traumatized dogs and cats, clinically normal adult dogs and cats, and juvenile puppies and kittens are the nongravity‐dependent DH and CC views over the most gravity‐dependent HRU and SRU views (Lisciandro et al. 2009, 2015, 2019). Moreover, the umbilical HRU and SRU views are rarely the only positive view(s) among different subsets of dogs and cats (Lisciandro et al. 2009, 2015, 2019; Romero et al. 2015). Thus, pay special attention to the presence of anechoic triangles (free fluid) while fanning through liver lobes (see Figure 6.10).
