Understanding the USG Whole Abdomen Test
What It Is:
The USG (Ultrasound) Whole Abdomen test is a non-invasive, painless imaging test that uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of the organs and structures within the abdomen.
It helps diagnose a range of conditions affecting the liver, kidneys, intestines, pancreas, gallbladder, and spleen.
The test covers the following organs:
Liver
Gallbladder
Pancreas
Spleen
Kidneys
Urinary bladder
Bowel loops
Prostate (in males)
Uterus and ovaries (in females)
Why It's Done:
Diagnosing Abdominal Conditions:
Helps identify abnormalities in the abdominal organs, such as liver disease, kidney stones, gallstones, cysts, tumors, or inflammation.
Assists in diagnosing conditions like abdominal aortic aneurysm, pancreatitis, and appendicitis.
Monitoring Health:
Used to monitor the development of a fetus during pregnancy.
Helps evaluate symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, unexplained weight loss, swelling, and infection.
How the Test Works:
Preparation:
Overnight fasting (8-12 hours) is required. Do not eat or drink anything except water before the test.
Drink plenty of water before the USG procedure to ensure a full bladder.
Procedure:
A trained radiologist will apply a gel to the abdomen and gently move the probe (transducer) over the skin, generating real-time images.
The ultrasound machine sends sound waves into the abdomen, and the resulting images are recorded on a computer.
You may need to momentarily turn or hold your breath to capture the best possible views.
Understanding the Results:
Abnormal Findings:
Enlarged organs, fluid in the abdominal cavity, liver disease, kidney stones, gallstones, cysts, tumors, or inflammation.
Normal Findings:
Organs and structures appear normal in size, shape, and position, with no signs of abnormalities.
