A Whole Abdomen & Pelvis Sonography is a safe and non-invasive ultrasound examination used to assess the important organs and structures in your abdomen and pelvis. Using high-frequency sound waves, the scan creates real-time images that help evaluate the size, shape and condition of different organs without using radiation.
Depending on the clinical requirement, the examination can provide views of the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, urinary bladder and pelvic organs. It may be recommended for abdominal or pelvic pain, digestive or urinary complaints, or as part of evaluating a suspected medical condition.
At Samarth Diagnostic Center, Chandan Nagar, Pune, Whole Abdomen & Pelvis Sonography is performed using advanced ultrasound technology under the expertise of Dr. Neeta Narawade, an experienced radiologist with over 25 years of experience. Our focus is on careful imaging, detailed evaluation and clear reporting to help your doctor understand your condition and plan the appropriate next steps.
A Whole Abdomen & Pelvis Sonography gives your doctor a closer look at the important organs in your abdomen and pelvis. It may be advised when you have pain, digestive or urinary complaints, menstrual problems, or when your doctor wants to investigate a suspected condition.
Liver
The scan looks at the size, shape and appearance of your liver. It can help identify common problems such as fatty liver, an enlarged liver, cysts and other changes in the liver.
Gallbladder
The gallbladder is checked for gallstones, sludge, inflammation, polyps and other abnormalities that may sometimes be associated with abdominal pain or digestive complaints.
Pancreas
The scan helps assess the visible part of the pancreas and may show changes in its size or structure, cysts and other abnormalities. Sometimes, the pancreas may not be completely visible because of bowel gas.
Spleen
The spleen is checked for its size and appearance. The scan can help identify an enlarged spleen and other structural changes.
Kidneys
The kidneys are examined for kidney stones, cysts, swelling of the kidney and changes in their size or structure.
Urinary Bladder
The bladder can be checked for stones, changes in the bladder wall, urine retention and other abnormalities.
A pelvic scan looks at the organs in the lower part of the abdomen. The structures examined are different for women and men.
Uterus
The scan helps assess the size, shape and appearance of the uterus and can identify conditions such as fibroids, adenomyosis and other structural changes.
Endometrium
The lining of the uterus is assessed for its thickness and appearance. This can be particularly useful when a woman has heavy periods or abnormal vaginal bleeding.
Ovaries
The ovaries are examined for cysts, enlargement, polycystic ovarian morphology and other changes.
When a more detailed view of the uterus or ovaries is required, your doctor may recommend a transvaginal ultrasound (TVS).
Prostate
The prostate is assessed for its size and appearance, particularly when there are symptoms such as frequent urination or difficulty passing urine.
Urinary Bladder
The bladder is examined for stones, wall changes and urine retention. A post-void scan may also be done to check whether urine is remaining in the bladder after passing urine.
Depending on the reason for your examination, a Whole Abdomen & Pelvis Sonography may help identify problems such as fatty liver, gallstones, kidney stones, cysts, enlarged organs, hydronephrosis, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, changes in the endometrium, enlarged prostate, urinary retention and other structural abnormalities.
Your ultrasound findings are considered along with your symptoms, medical history and other test results. If anything needs a closer look, your doctor may recommend further investigations.
