This is used to assess for a cause of abdominal pain. It analyses your liver, gallbladder, biliary tree, pancreas (limited), spleen and kidneys. It can also assess your central large blood vessel (aorta). In women, it may be able to assess your uterus and ovaries (as long as they are not obscured by overlying bowel gas or adipose tissue – hence, to adequately assess your pelvic organs, we would recommend a transvaginal ultrasound scan. An ultrasound scan cannot assess for appendix, bowel or bone disorders.

This can assess the size, shape and position of your kidneys, ureters (only looking for obstruction, cannot fully evaluate ureters) and bladder. It looks for Kidney masses, stones obstructing the urinary tract (not all – some need a CT scan) and renal cysts. Your bladder is assessed when it is full and immediately after emptying (to ensure adequate bladder emptying). In men, it may also be able to assess your prostate gland (but this is not the best form of scan for the prostate gland).
