Pediatric abdominal ultrasound
Pediatric abdominal ultrasound is a safe, accurate and painless diagnostic examination of internal organs: the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, intestines, lymph nodes, and abdominal aorta.
For 2-3 days prior to the examination, children should avoid gassy foods, such as cabbage, legumes, fresh fruit, dairy products, sweets, and carbonated drinks. They should have a light dinner the day before the examination, no later than 6-7 p.m. On the day of the procedure, they should not eat or drink anything for 6-8 hours before the ultrasound, including water. If your child is prone to bloating, a physician may recommend enterosorbents or carminative drugs.
The child is positioned on a couch, and a special gel is applied to the abdomen to enhance the transmission of ultrasound waves. A diagnostician carefully moves the sensor over the target area, examining internal organs in real time. The patient may need to change their position during the examination. The procedure usually takes 20-30 minutes and doesn't cause discomfort.
We use a high-frequency digital ultrasound machine. This lets us get a clear picture of small structures. This is especially important when examining younger children, whose organs are still developing and need to be assessed with high accuracy.
Children can return to their regular activities immediately after the procedure. Ultrasound does not require recovery. You receive a medical conclusion either immediately after the procedure or within a few hours.
