Internal Organs Ultrasound

Internal organs ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging investigation that uses ultrasound waves to examine abdominal and pelvic organs. It is a safe, radiation-free method recommended both for symptom evaluation and routine preventive check-ups.

Organs that can be examined by ultrasound

• Liver and bile ducts — for detecting hepatitis, fatty liver disease, gallstones, or tumors
• Gallbladder — for identifying gallstones or inflammatory conditions
• Spleen and pancreas — to assess size and structure
• Kidneys and urinary bladder — for detecting stones, cysts, infections, or tumors
• Pelvic organs (uterus, ovaries, prostate) — when indicated
• Abdominal aorta and major vessels — for detecting dilatations (aneurysms)

When abdominal ultrasound is recommended

• in cases of abdominal pain, bloating, or persistent discomfort
• for patients with liver, kidney, or pancreatic diseases
• to monitor patients with gallstones or kidney stones
• as a screening method for patients with digestive or urological risk factors
• for routine preventive examinations

How the examination is performed

• The patient lies down, and ultrasound gel is applied to the examined area
• The physician moves the ultrasound probe to visualize organs from different angles
• The examination lasts approximately 15–30 minutes and is completely painless
• In some cases, prior preparation may be required (e.g., fasting for several hours)

Benefits for the patient

Internal organs ultrasound is a fast, accessible, and highly informative method that allows early detection of many conditions and guides appropriate treatment. As it does not involve radiation, it can be safely repeated whenever necessary, including in children and pregnant women.
