Abdominal ultrasound, also known as abdominal ultrasonography, is a method of imaging the abdominal organs using ultrasound.
Ultrasound is a non-invasive and rapid technique that is now considered a routine examination and extremely useful in making many diagnoses.
The liver, spleen, pancreas, kidneys, gallbladder or bladder may be visualised.
The presence of gas in the digestive tract makes it difficult or even impossible to perform the ultrasound, which is why it is recommended not to eat foods that make you bloated the day before.
