A high-resolution diagnostic exam evaluating the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen. Performed by ARDMS-certified sonographers and interpreted by board-certified radiologists — typically the same day.
An abdominal ultrasound is one of the most valuable diagnostic tools in modern medicine — providing real-time, radiation-free imaging of your major abdominal organs. It's typically the first imaging exam your physician orders when investigating abdominal symptoms.
Size, texture, masses, fatty changes
Stones, polyps, wall thickening
Inflammation, cysts, structural changes
Stones, cysts, blood flow, structure
Size, structure, abnormalities
Aorta and surrounding vasculature
A abdominal ultrasound can help identify or rule out:
Whether referred by your physician or scheduling on your own, these are the situations that most often lead to this exam.
Unexplained discomfort in the upper or middle abdomen that warrants imaging evaluation.
Yellowing of the skin or eyes that may indicate liver or gallbladder disease.
Significant unintentional weight loss requiring abdominal organ assessment.
Elevated liver enzymes, kidney function tests, or other concerning lab results.
Routine surveillance for patients at risk for abdominal conditions.
Monitoring organ health for patients on long-term medications.
From check-in to walking out, here's what your appointment looks like at ProCare.
Arrive 15 minutes early. Streamlined intake — most patients are checked in within 5 minutes.
You'll be guided to a private exam room and positioned comfortably on a padded exam table.
Warm gel is applied. Your sonographer gently moves a handheld transducer across the lower abdomen. Painless throughout.
A board-certified radiologist reviews the images. Most reports are completed within 24–48 hours.
Preparation for a abdominal ultrasound is straightforward — but following the right steps makes a meaningful difference in image quality and overall comfort during your exam.
Follow these steps for the clearest possible images.
Fasting prevents gas in the intestines that can block the view of abdominal organs.
Stay hydrated — small amounts of water are permitted during the fasting period.
A two-piece outfit is ideal — easier to access the abdomen than a dress.
Do not skip prescribed medications. Take with a small sip of water as usual.
