Ultrasound | Full Abdomen Ultrasound
 
Ultrasound is a diagnostic imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce real-time images of the body's internal organs and structures. It is an essential tool, especially when it comes to examining the entire abdomen.
 
The Complete Abdominal Ultrasound
A complete abdominal ultrasound is performed to evaluate the major organs of the abdomen, including the liver, gallbladder, spleen, pancreas, kidneys, and abdominal blood vessels. It is a non-invasive, safe and usually painless procedure.
Benefits of Abdominal Ultrasound
This type of ultrasound is particularly valuable because it can detect abnormalities, tumors, cysts, blockages, and other potential problems. Additionally, it is used to guide procedures, such as biopsies, safely.
 
Comparison with Other Radiological Studies
No Irradiation: Unlike X-rays or CT, ultrasound does not use radiation, making it safe for patients of all ages, including pregnant women.
Soft Details: Ultrasound is exceptionally good at visualizing soft tissues that don't show up well on x-rays.
Real time: Images are produced in real time, which is useful for guiding medical procedures.
Cost: Generally, it is less expensive than other imaging modalities such asMagnetic Resonance 1.5 at UniRad waveComputed Axial Tomography at UniRad
Mobility: Ultrasound devices are typically portable, allowing them to be used in a variety of settings.
Depth Limitations: Unlike Magnetic Resonance 1.5 in UniRad, ultrasound can have difficulties in visualizing very deep organs or in patients with obesity.
Bone density: Ultrasound is not good at visualizing bones or areas with a lot of gas, unlike x-rays.
Contrast: Magnetic Resonance 1.5 at UniRad andTomography  They usually offer better contrast and resolution in certain conditions.
Speed: Although ultrasound is real-time, taking full images may be slower than aTomography.
Flexibility: Unlike MRI, there are no restrictions regarding metal implants or claustrophobia.
