Abdominal Ultrasonography

5000+ scans done & counting

Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a non-invasive, safe, and efficient diagnostic procedure that utilizes sound waves to create images of the organs and structures within the abdomen. This imaging technique is widely used to assess the condition of the liver, gallbladder, spleen, kidneys, pancreas, and abdominal aorta.

Abdominal ultrasonography is a popular choice for healthcare professionals due to its accessibility, safety, and cost-effectiveness. It's often the first imaging test used to investigate abdominal pain or discomfort, as it provides real-time, detailed images of the abdominal organs. Beyond its diagnostic capabilities, abdominal ultrasonography can also guide doctors during procedures such as needle biopsies or fluid aspiration.

Specific Instructions:
  • Medical History: Provide your doctor with your complete medical history, including any chronic conditions, current medications, and known allergies. This information is crucial to avoid any potential complications and ensure the accuracy of the results.
  • Fasting: To get clear images, you may be required to fast (no food or liquid) for about 6-8 hours before the procedure. This is because undigested food in the stomach and food residues in the intestines can obstruct the sound waves, making it harder to get a clear image of the abdominal organs.
  • Clothing: Wear comfortable and loose-fitting clothing. You may be required to change into a hospital gown for the procedure.
  • Preparation: Depending on the focus of the examination, you may be asked to drink lots of water to fill your bladder, which helps the sound waves travel better, making organs like the uterus easier to visualize.
