Abdominal Ultrasound (AB)

abdominal_resizedA staple within the Ultrasound services line, Quality Mobile Ultrasound is proud to offer Ultrasounds covering the abdominal region of the body.

An abdominal ultrasound takes pictures of the organs and other structures in your upper belly. It uses sound waves to show images on a screen.

Areas that can be checked include the:

  • Abdominal aorta. This large blood vessel passes down the back of the chest and belly. It supplies blood to the lower part of the body and the legs.
  • Liver. This large organ lies under the rib cage on the right side of the belly. It makes bile (a substance that helps digest fat). It also stores sugars and breaks down many of the body’s waste products.
  • Gallbladder. This small organ is right under the liver. It stores bile. When you eat, the gallbladder contracts to send bile to the bowels (intestines). The bile helps your body digest food and absorb vitamins that dissolve in fat.
  • Spleen. This organ helps fight infection. It also filters old red blood cells. The spleen sits to the left of the stomach, just behind the lower left ribs.
  • Pancreas. This gland is in the upper belly. It makes enzymes that help digest food. The digestive enzymes then move into the bowels. The pancreas also releases insulin into the bloodstream. Insulin helps the body use sugars for energy.
  • Kidneys. This pair of organs is in the upper part of your belly, but toward your back. The kidneys remove wastes from the blood. They also make urine.

aortic_ultrasound_mediumDoctors often need more details about a specific organ in the upper part of a patients belly, in which case they may order a special ultrasound, such as a kidney ultrasound. If an examination call for the need to examine the structures and organs in a lower belly region, then a pelvic ultrasound is necessary. Quality Mobile Ultrasound is proud to offer the entire range of Abdominal Ultrasound testing to the partners and practices which we are engaged with.
