Ultrasound of the abdominal cavity
Ultrasound allows you to visualize internal organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys and other structures.
Ультразвуковая диагностика дает возможность оценить состояние внутренних органов, выявить различные патологические состояния, включая хирургическую патологию (острый холецистит, острый аппендицит), изменения в структуре органов.
A high-frequency ultrasound machine is used for ultrasound. Modern sensors have high resolution and allow you to get a detailed image of small structures.
Benefits
Painlessness and safety
Ultrasound is a non—invasive and painless procedure that does not have a harmful effect on the body.
High information content
The study provides detailed information about the condition of internal organs, which helps in diagnosis.
Speed of implementation
The procedure takes a little time, the results are available immediately after the study.
A wide range of applications
Ultrasound is used to diagnose various diseases and control treatment, which makes it a universal research method.
Preparation for ultrasound of the abdominal cavity
It is recommended to follow a few simple rules: 2-3 days before the study, exclude products that cause gas formation from the diet (legumes, cabbage, carbonated drinks), 6-8 hours before the procedure, refrain from eating and drinking, as well as not smoking or chewing gum.
Abdominal ultrasound procedure
The doctor applies a gel to the patient's abdomen, which improves the contact of the sensor with the skin. Then the sensor of the ultrasound device moves along the surface of the abdomen, transmitting an image of the internal organs to the monitor. The doctor examines the abdominal organs, evaluates their size, structure and identifies possible pathologies. The procedure takes about 20-30 minutes.
Recommendations after ultrasound of the abdominal cavity
After an ultrasound of the abdominal organs, the patient can immediately return to normal business. It is important to follow the doctor's recommendations, especially if pathologies have been identified that require observation or treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I prepare for the procedure?
- Rye bread, pastries.
- Milk and dairy products.
- Legumes (peas, beans, lentils).
- Fresh vegetables and fruits (cabbage, cucumbers, tomatoes, apples, pears, grapes).
- Sweets, carbonated drinks.
Light dinner: Have a light dinner the night before and no later than 18:00-19:00.
Fasting: the study is conducted strictly on an empty stomach, so on the day of the study you can not eat or drink (water too) for 6-8 hours before the procedure.
Enterosorbents: if you have a tendency to gas formation, you can take an enterosorbent (for example, activated charcoal, espumizan) the day before the ultrasound.
Which organs are examined during ultrasound of the abdominal cavity?
Gallbladder: The shape, size, wall thickness, presence of stones, polyps, inflammation (cholecystitis) is assessed, and the patency of the bile ducts is assessed.
Pancreas: Size, structure, presence of neoplasms, inflammation (pancreatitis), cysts and other pathologies are assessed.
Spleen: Size, structure, presence of neoplasms, enlargement (splenomegaly), rupture and other pathologies are assessed.
Abdominal aorta and its branches: The diameter, the presence of aneurysm (expansion) or stenosis (narrowing), and blood clots are assessed.
Lymph nodes: Size, shape, structure, and the presence of inflammatory or tumor changes are assessed.
Abdominal cavity: The presence of free fluid (ascites) is assessed.
How long will it take for the results of the study to be ready?
In some cases, especially with complex studies or high doctor workload, the results may be ready in a few hours.
Less often, the ultrasound results may be ready the next day. This may be due to the need for more detailed image analysis or the workload of the clinic.
How often do I need to undergo the procedure for preventive purposes?
In the absence of complaints and risk factors, it can be performed less frequently – once every 3-5 years.
