Upper Abdominal Scan

Sonoclinic offers an upper abdominal scan that aims to thoroughly assess the size, form, and state of various body organs. These include the liver, kidneys, spleen and major blood vessels, gallbladder, bile ducts, and pancreas. This scan is suitable for individuals aged 16 and above.

This scan is conducted by an experienced local sonographer specialising in diagnostic imaging

Purpose of the Scan

The upper abdominal scan is helpful in:

• Identifying polyps or gallstones
• Evaluating liver health
• Assessing kidney function

What to Expect

You will be given a comprehensive written report of your results, along with our recommendations for further action. During your appointment, you will also receive printed images plus a diagnostic report.

Preparing for Your Scan

If you are currently receiving medical care, consult your healthcare provider before undergoing this scan. Also, for a smooth process and accurate results, you should do the following:

• Refrain from eating for 8 hours before your scan. Clear fluids, black tea, and black coffee are allowed.
• If you have diabetes, continue eating as needed, but don’t consume dairy and fatty foods.

Come dressed in a two-piece outfit (such as trousers or a skirt and a top) to allow easy access to your abdomen.
