A safe, painless scan that checks organs such as the liver, kidneys and gallbladder.
An abdominal ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of the organs in your abdomen, including the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, kidneys, pancreas, spleen and bladder.
It can help find the cause of abdominal pain, detect gallstones, kidney stones, cysts, fluid and changes in organ size or texture, and it is often the first test used for abdominal symptoms.
At Apollo Clinic Shyamnagar, the scan is performed on a GE Voluson S10 ultrasound system, and the findings are explained to you in the same visit.
| Aspect | Details |

| Preparation | Fasting for several hours is usually needed, and you may be asked to drink water for a full bladder; follow the instructions given when booking |
| What Happens | A gel is applied to your abdomen and a probe is moved over the skin to capture images of the organs, while you may be asked to change position or hold your breath briefly |
| Who It's For | People with abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, jaundice, abnormal liver or kidney tests, or those needing follow-up of a known abdominal condition |
An abdominal ultrasound is recommended when symptoms point to a problem in the organs of the abdomen or when other tests need further clarification.

Fasting reduces gas in the intestines and keeps the gallbladder filled, which helps give clearer images.
No. It is generally painless, though pressure from the probe can feel slightly uncomfortable if the area is tender.
It can detect many gallstones and kidney stones, though some small stones or those in certain locations may be harder to see, and the doctor may suggest another test.
Not always. Gas or body build can limit the view, so the doctor may recommend other tests if the cause is still unclear.
