P132 Figure 1 RFcsa taken with a linear probe (image on left) and curvilinear probe (image on right) in the same individual at 2/3. Conclusion These data demonstrate that both linear and curvilinear probes can be used to acquire accurate RFcsa measurements. Furthermore, "splicing" the images from the LUP, when a CUP is not available is a justified method to assess RFcsa. This method should be considered for RFcsa image acquisition in obese patients.
