Ultrasound

General Information About the Test

Ultrasound (Ultrasonography) is the fundamental and most reliable radiological diagnostic method that creates real-time (moving) images of the body's internal organs, blood vessels, and tissues using high-frequency sound waves that the human ear cannot hear. Because it contains absolutely no radiation, it is used as the "first choice" in pregnancy monitoring, in infants, and in examinations of the thyroid, breast, and intra-abdominal organs (liver, kidneys, etc.).

Test Process and Preparation

Ultrasonography imaging and region-specific preparations.
What is the preparation before a Whole Abdomen (Abdominal) ultrasound?

To be able to clearly see the intra-abdominal organs (liver, gallbladder, pancreas), gas formation must be prevented. For this reason, the patient is asked to fast for at least 8 hours prior to the procedure. Additionally, it is mandatory to have a full bladder (a strong urge to urinate) to be able to see the bladder and reproductive organs.

What is the purpose of the gel applied during the procedure?

That cold, colorless gel applied to the skin (ultrasound gel) ensures that the sound waves are transmitted from the skin to the organs continuously and clearly, without any air gaps. It is water-based, does not stain, and is not allergic.

Are there any harms or side effects?

There is absolutely no harm, side effect, or radiation risk. Because it works on the principle of sound waves (like the sonar system in submarines), it is 100% safe for everyone, from newborn babies to pregnant women.
