Ultrasound of Internal Organs

Ultrasound diagnostics (US) is one of the most effective, accessible, and safe methods for evaluating the condition of internal organs. With this type of examination, doctors can obtain nearly complete information within minutes about the location and size of abdominal organs, the structure of their tissues, and their overall condition.

Ultrasound of the pelvic organs and other internal organs is considered the safest diagnostic method. It surpasses other available diagnostic techniques in terms of accuracy, simplicity, accessibility, and lack of harmful effects. This method enables the most comprehensive and precise examination.

Ultrasound of the abdominal organs is the most optimal method for analyzing the condition of the kidneys, spleen, liver, pancreas, and pelvic organs.

When should you consider undergoing an ultrasound of the kidneys, liver, and other abdominal organs?
You should think about the condition of your internal organs and consult a doctor if you experience the following symptoms:

• Pain or discomfort in the upper abdomen.
• Heaviness or sharp pain in the left upper quadrant.
• A bitter taste in the mouth.
• Increased gas formation.

Cost of Ultrasound Diagnostics and Preparation for the Procedure

The cost of ultrasound diagnostic services can be found in the price list or at the reception desk. There, you can find prices for ultrasounds of the kidneys, liver, pancreas, and other abdominal and pelvic organs.

Proper preparation for the procedure is essential, as incorrect preparation may negatively affect the results of the study, leading to poor image quality.

What steps are necessary for proper preparation for an ultrasound examination?

• Fasting: The most important rule is to refrain from eating for 8 hours before the examination. In addition, it is better to avoid fruits, raw vegetables, milk, canned juices, and legumes for two days prior, as these products promote gas formation. An exception is made for patients with diabetes, who are allowed a light breakfast.
• For excessive gas formation: Patients experiencing excessive gas should drink activated charcoal the evening before the procedure or take medications that help reduce gas formation to ensure the study is conducted properly.
• Smoking: It is recommended to avoid smoking before the procedure, as it can cause contractions of certain internal organs, resulting in inaccurate diagnostic results.
