USG Upper Abdomen

Upper Abdominal Ultrasound

USG (Ultrasonography) or Ultrasound of the Upper Abdomen is an imaging test that uses high-intensity sound waves to create pictures of the internal body structures. It is generally used for evaluating the kidneys, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder.

Doctors prescribe an abdominal ultrasound when they're anxious about symptoms such as belly pain, repeated vomiting, abnormal liver or kidney function tests, or a swollen belly. The tests can show them the dimensions of the abdominal organs and assist them to check for injuries to or diseases of the organs.
