An Upper Abdominal Ultrasound Scan is a safe, painless, and non-invasive imaging procedure that examines the major organs in the upper abdomen. It helps detect abnormalities and evaluate the health of vital organs.

• Liver – Identifies fatty liver, cysts, tumors, enlargement, or other abnormalities.
• Gallbladder – Detects gallstones, polyps, or inflammation (cholecystitis).
• Pancreas – Checks for cysts, tumors, or inflammation (pancreatitis).
• Kidneys – Looks for kidney stones, cysts, or structural issues.
• Spleen – Assesses size and potential abnormalities.
• Bile Ducts – Evaluates for blockages, dilation, or issues with bile flow.
