What is abdomen us?

Abdomen ultrasound, also known as abdominal ultrasound, is a medical imaging technique that uses high frequency sound waves to produce images of the abdominal organs, including the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, and bladder. It is a non-invasive and safe diagnostic tool that helps in diagnosing various conditions related to these organs. Abdomen ultrasound is commonly used to evaluate abdominal pain, swelling, and abnormalities detected during routine physical exams. It is also used to monitor the progress of certain diseases, such as liver cirrhosis, and to guide procedures such as biopsies. During an abdomen ultrasound, the patient lies on a table while the technician applies a special gel to the skin and moves a wand-like device over the area being examined. The resulting images are displayed on a computer screen and are interpreted by a radiologist or other healthcare provider. Abdomen ultrasound is not associated with any significant risks or complications and does not require any preparation or special aftercare.
