Abdomen Ultrasound

w Abdomen Ultrasound near me

Internal organs such as the pancreas, liver and gallbladder can be visualized via an abdominal ultrasound.

Pain, abnormal blood tests (e.g. liver function), jaundice, a palpable mass, bloating, nausea, trauma, and follow-up from previous procedures are some of the most common reasons to have this treatment.

These images are obtained by placing a transducer on your abdomen.

Procedure

As soon as a sonographer has confirmed your identity and the procedure you're having, they will begin your examination. Over the area to be studied, a clear gel is applied to the skin with a brush. The structures beneath the skin's surface can be visualized using an ultrasonic transducer. Holding your breath and shifting into particular positions will help the sonographer see your inside organs more clearly during your ultrasound.

It will be reviewed by a radiology specialist who will write a report for your doctor. At times, you'll get to speak with the radiologist directly during the test.
