Abdominal ultrasound scan/ USG Scan

The abdominal ultrasound scan is an important tool for the diagnosis of medical conditions in the abdomen. It can be used for adults, children, and neonates.

Ultrasound scanners use sound waves to produce images of structures inside the body. They do this by sending sound waves into the body and then measure their bounce off from the structures like organs or blood vessels. The scanner converts these measurements into an image on a computer screen which is usually black and white with shades of gray.

An abdominal ultrasound scan is usually done to diagnose any one or more of these conditions:

• Fatty liver
