abdominal and pelvic ultrasound
Introduction
This comprehensive scan combines both abdominal and pelvic ultrasound examinations in a single appointment, providing complete assessment of your lower torso organs. Ideal for investigating symptoms that could originate from either area, or for comprehensive health screening.
The scan examines your liver, gallbladder, kidneys, spleen, pancreas, bladder, and (for women) uterus and ovaries in one session. This is particularly useful for unexplained lower abdominal pain, bloating, or when symptoms suggest multiple organ involvement.
Our consultant radiologists use state-of-the-art ultrasound equipment to ensure high-quality imaging and accurate diagnosis.
