What Is An Abdominal Scan?
An Upper Abdominal Ultrasound examines all primary digestive and filtering organs, assessing:
- Liver (fatty liver changes, cirrhosis, lesions)
- Gallbladder & biliary tree (gallstones, polyps)
- Pancreas (pancreatitis or duct dilation)
- Kidneys (renal calculi, cysts, obstruction)
- Spleen (splenomegaly) & Abdominal Aorta
An Abdominal Ultrasound is a non-invasive diagnostic examination designed to evaluate the anatomical structure and tissue condition of the major organs situated within the upper abdominal cavity. Using real-time high-frequency sound waves, this scan allows our clinicians to identify the underlying causes of persistent upper stomach pain, bloating, or abnormal liver enzyme blood tests.
The examination precisely detects conditions such as gallstones lodged in the gallbladder or bile ducts, hepatic steatosis (fatty liver), kidney stones, cysts, and abdominal aortic enlargement, providing your GP or specialist with immediate diagnostic clarity.
An Abdominal Scan provides clear real-time imaging of the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen to evaluate abdominal pain and metabolic health.

FAQ
Yes, you must fast (no food or drinks other than plain water) 3 to 4 hours only prior to your scan. Fasting contracts the gallbladder and prevents bowel gas from obscuring the organs.
Ultrasound is considered the gold standard diagnostic tool for detecting gallstones, biliary sludge, and gallbladder wall inflammation.
The scan procedure typically takes 15 to 20 minutes, followed by a discussion of findings and formal written report preparation.
