An abdominal ultrasound uses sound waves to show the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, pancreas, spleen, kidneys and aorta, and with the full scan the bladder. At The Wellness in Marylebone it costs from £445, as full abdominal ultrasound, with a report within 48 hours, often the same day and a doctor to explain the result.
An abdominal ultrasound uses sound waves to show the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, pancreas, spleen, kidneys and aorta, and with the full scan the bladder. There is no radiation.
It is often the first scan for pain in the upper abdomen, for gallstones, for an abnormal liver or kidney blood test, or to look at the aorta.
Do not eat for 6 hours before, so the gallbladder is full and gas does not hide the organs. Water is fine, and for the full scan arrive with a comfortably full bladder.
No. You can request it directly, and a doctor checks the scan is the right one for your question.
Usually 20 to 40 minutes.
Choose the scan and a time, and the directions come with your confirmation. Or ring 020 3951 3429.
