Abdominal ultrasound is an imaging test used to safely diagnose a wide range of medical problems. It is fast and almost painless. It uses no radiation. This test detects both routine and dangerous conditions. Abdominal ultrasound is a non-invasive procedure used to assess organs and structures within the abdomen. This includes the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, bile ducts, spleen, and abdominal aorta. Ultrasound technology allows quick visualization of abdominal organs and structures from outside the body. Ultrasound can also be used to assess blood flow to the abdominal organs. Ultrasound uses a transducer, which sends out ultrasound waves at a frequency too high to be heard. An ultrasound transducer is placed on the skin, and ultrasound waves travel through the body to organs and structures. The sound waves bounce off the organs like an echo and return to the transducer. The transducer processes the reflected waves, which are then converted by a computer into an image of the organs o...
