See what issues you can report to us about.
Abdominal pains
Recurrent or sudden abdominal pain can indicate problems with the digestive tract, liver, pancreas or bile ducts.
Suspected kidney or gallbladder stones
Ultrasound can detect deposits in the urinary tract or gallbladder - a common cause of colic or pain on the right side of the abdomen.
Urinary disorders
Urinary retention, frequent urination or soreness may indicate urinary tract disease - ultrasound will assess the kidneys, bladder and prostate gland.
Enlargement of the abdominal circumference
Excessive abdominal enlargement may indicate the presence of fluid in the peritoneal cavity, tumours or cirrhosis.
Abnormal laboratory test results
Increased levels of liver enzymes, urea or creatinine often need to be supplemented by diagnostic imaging.
Yellowing of the skin and eyes
This symptom may indicate liver, biliary tract or gastrointestinal disease - abdominal ultrasound is the first-choice examination.
Testicular pain or swelling
In case of sudden pain, enlargement or asymmetry of the scrotum - ultrasound helps to exclude testicular torsion, hydrocele or tumours.
What should the preparation for the ultrasound examination look like?
An ultrasound examination is safe, painless and non-invasive, but in order for it to be efficient and provide reliable results, it is worth preparing for it. We recommend that you arrive on time for the examination, wearing loose clothing that makes it easier to expose the area of the body being examined. If you have previous imaging or laboratory results - please bring them with you.
Depending on the type of ultrasound (e.g. abdominal, bladder, reproductive organs), the registration staff will give you specific recommendations - e.g. the need to be fasting or to fill your bladder. If you have any concerns, please contact our registration - we will be happy to provide detailed information.
Frequently asked questions
What is ultrasound and what is ultrasound?
Ultrasound, or ultrasonography, is an imaging test that uses high-frequency sound waves. These waves penetrate the patient's body and bounce off the internal organs, creating their image on the screen of the ultrasound machine. This examination is completely safe - it does not use radiation, so it can even be performed on pregnant women and children.
What does the ultrasound examination look like - is it painful?
The ultrasound examination is painless and usually lasts from a few to several minutes. The doctor applies a special gel to the patient's skin, which improves the conductivity of the ultrasound waves, and then moves the camera head over the examined area. The result of the examination is available immediately and can be discussed on site.
What are the indications for an ultrasound examination?
Indications for ultrasound include a wide range of symptoms and conditions - including abdominal pain, suspected diseases of the kidneys, gallbladder, liver, pancreas, thyroid or reproductive system. Ultrasound is also often used for follow-up after trauma and in the diagnosis of abnormal laboratory test results.
What to eat before an abdominal ultrasound and what to avoid?
No food should be consumed 6 hours before the abdominal ultrasound examination. It is also advisable to avoid foods that cause bloating, such as fizzy drinks, dark bread, legumes or raw vegetables. On the day of the examination, you should not smoke or chew gum. It is also advisable to limit your intake of coffee and strong tea.
What is an acoustic shadow on ultrasound and is it a cause for concern?
An acoustic shadow is the phenomenon of an area of shadowing behind a structure that does not transmit ultrasound waves - this could be, for example, a stone in the gallbladder or kidneys. The presence of an acoustic shadow does not necessarily mean anything dangerous, but always requires interpretation by a doctor who will assess its significance in the context of the patient's symptoms and other examination findings.
