Abdominal ultrasound

Ultrasound, also known as sonography, is a diagnostic technique that uses sound waves (ultrasound) to create images of organs, tissues, and organ structures that make up the digestive system. It is a basic test for the early diagnosis of pathologies and disorders that affect the liver, gallbladder, spleen, pancreas and kidneys.

Abdominal ultrasound

What does it consist of?

During the examination, the specialist moves the transducer over the part of the body to be studied, having previously applied a gel. This transducer sends sound waves (ultrasound) that “bounce” off different organs and tissues, forming the image.

Cases in which it is recommended

To whom?

Your doctor may recommend an abdominal ultrasound in the following cases:

Determine the cause of abdominal pain or bloating.
Monitor and control kidney stones, liver diseases and tumors, among other conditions.
Evaluate the possible risk of suffering an abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Instructions
