Abdominal ultrasound is a non-invasive and safe method to examine the internal organs of the abdomen. Some of the organs found in the abdominal region include the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, bile ducts, spleen, and abdominal aorta. In the ultrasound method, ultrasound waves are used to examine the organs and structures of the abdomen. Unlike the X-ray device, ultrasound waves are very safe, they easily pass through the surface of the skin and reach the internal organs of the body. Research shows that ultrasound waves are not harmful even for pregnant mothers. Therefore, if you are suffering from some abdominal diseases such as fatty liver and things like this, you can diagnose your disease in the shortest possible time by using ultrasound of the liver, kidney and things like this. In addition to the organs, some blood vessels that lead to the abdominal organs can also be examined with the help of ultrasound. For example, inferior vena cava and aorta are examples of veins that cause a lot of problems for a person in case of swelling and congestion.
