Abdominal Ultrasound

Abdominal ultrasound is a medical imaging technique that uses sound waves to create pictures of the organs inside your abdomen, such as the liver, kidneys, and gallbladder. During the procedure, a technician applies a gel to your skin and moves a small device called a transducer over the area. This device emits sound waves that bounce off your organs and create images on a monitor. It's a painless, non-invasive way to help doctors diagnose conditions like tumors, gallstones, or liver disease, and it does not use radiation, making it safe for patients.
