Overnight fasting (8-12 hours) is needed for the Ultrasound Whole Abdomen test. Do not eat or drink anything except water before the test. You may also be asked to drink plenty of water before the USG procedure to ensure a full bladder. This test is considered a safer alternative to other imaging techniques as it uses no ionizing radiation.

What does Ultrasound Whole Abdomen measure?

USG (Ultrasound sonography) technology allows quick visualization of the internal organs and structures of the abdomen from outside the body. The Ultrasound Whole Abdomen test measures the size, shape, structure, and movement of the internal organs like the liver, kidneys, intestines, pancreas, gallbladder, spleen, and the blood vessels within the abdominal cavity. This test helps find abnormalities such as tumors, cysts, stones, fluid accumulation, and signs of inflammation or infection in these organs. By capturing real-time images, the Ultrasound Whole Abdomen test assesses the blood flow through the abdominal vessels, helping diagnose liver diseases, kidney dysfunction, and other gastrointestinal conditions.

The USG machine consists of a computer console, a video monitor, and an attached transducer (a small hand-held device that resembles a microphone). The transducer is placed on the skin, and the ultrasound waves move through the body to the organs and structures within. The sound waves bounce off the organs like an echo and return to the transducer. The transducer processes these reflected waves, which the computer converts into images of the organs or tissues. Doctors interpret these images to detect abnormalities and initiate appropriate treatment if required.
