The arrangement of images in the index case of clinical studies has relevance. This arrangement cannot be seen on cell phones or tablets.
With the monitor set up properly, it may be important to watch them in a relatively dark room.

Professional considerations
Lack of biological standard and also of exact definitions
In most ultrasound characteristics we lack a biological standard to which the feature can be compared. In such situation, a consensual interpretation would have a fundamental role. This consensus could be based on uniform and as exact as possible definitions. Unfortunately, a definition of such quality is not given in most cases by the guidelines.
It follows that the interpretation of the author of an ultrasound atlas is necessarily subjective and debatable.
