Detailed Abdominal Imaging
Abdominal ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of structures within the abdomen. It may be used to examine organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys and urinary bladder.
An abdominal ultrasound may be recommended for symptoms such as abdominal discomfort, digestive complaints, suspected gallstones, urinary symptoms or other clinical concerns. The examination is non-invasive and does not involve ionising radiation.
The findings are interpreted in conjunction with the patient's symptoms, clinical examination and other investigations when required.
