About Abdominal Ultrasound
An abdominal ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of organs in the abdomen, including the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen. It is commonly used to evaluate abdominal pain, detect gallstones, and assess organ size and blood flow. The test is painless and does not use radiation.
Understanding Your Bill
Abdominal ultrasound billing includes a technical fee and a radiologist's interpretation. A complete abdominal ultrasound covers more organs and costs more than a limited study.
