Whole Abdominal Ultrasound (USG) is a type of imaging test that creates images of the abdomen using high-frequency sound waves (belly). It is used to examine abdominal organs such as the liver, gallbladder, kidney, spleen, and pancreas. It can also help us investigate how some of the blood vessels in this area function.

The USG whole abdomen test will be performed while lying down. The skin around the abdomen is treated with a transparent, water-based conductive gel. The abdomen is then probed with a handheld tool known as a transducer. In most cases, the test can take up to 30 minutes.

The problem will dictate how you prepare for the exam. You will most likely be asked not to eat for several hours with a full bladder and to drink plenty of water before the test. Your doctor will go over exactly what you need to do.
