What to Expect During Your Abdominal Ultrasound Appointment

Understanding the process helps you feel prepared and at ease. Here is a step-by-step guide to your abdominal ultrasound at our Auburn location.

Scheduling Your Appointment

Call us or book online. We offer appointments within 48 hours and can accommodate urgent referrals from your physician.

Preparing for Your Scan

You will need to fast (no food or drink except water) for 8 to 12 hours before your abdominal ultrasound. This ensures the gallbladder is distended and the bowel is clear, allowing for optimal image quality. Your referring provider will give specific instructions.

During the Scan

You will lie on your back on an exam table. Warm gel is applied to your abdomen, and the sonographer uses a transducer to systematically image each organ. You may be asked to take deep breaths, change positions, or briefly hold your breath to improve visualization. The exam typically takes 30 to 45 minutes.

Receiving Your Results

A board-certified radiologist reviews all images and sends a comprehensive written report to your referring physician within 48 hours.

Follow-Up Care

Your doctor will review the findings with you and discuss any recommended next steps, such as additional imaging, lab work, or specialist referral.

Our Abdominal Ultrasound Capabilities

UltraVision Imaging offers a comprehensive range of abdominal ultrasound studies using advanced portable ultrasound systems. All exams are performed by RDMS-certified sonographers and interpreted by board-certified radiologists.

• Liver Evaluation: Screening for fatty liver disease, liver masses, hepatic cysts, and cirrhosis, including assessment of liver size and echogenicity.
• Renal Ultrasound: Detailed imaging of both kidneys and the urinary bladder, used to evaluate kidney stones, cysts, hydronephrosis, and renal masses.
• Right Upper Quadrant (RUQ) Ultrasound: Focused evaluation of the liver, gallbladder, and bile ducts — commonly ordered for right-sided abdominal pain, nausea, or suspected gallstones.
• Abdominal Aorta Screening (AAA): Measurement of the abdominal aorta diameter to screen for aneurysm — recommended for men aged 65–75 who have ever smoked.
• Gallbladder Ultrasound: Assessment for gallstones, gallbladder wall thickening, polyps, and biliary obstruction — a first-line diagnostic tool for gallbladder disease.
• Spleen Evaluation: Assessment of spleen size and morphology, important for patients with blood disorders, infections, or left upper quadrant symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions About Abdominal Ultrasound in Auburn

1. How long does an abdominal ultrasound take?

A complete abdominal ultrasound typically takes 30 to 45 minutes. Focused exams (e.g., kidneys only) may be shorter. We schedule adequate time for a thorough evaluation.

2. When will I get my results?

A board-certified radiologist reviews your images, and a written report is sent to your referring physician within 48 hours. Your doctor will discuss the results with you at your next appointment.

3. Can an abdominal ultrasound detect cancer?

An abdominal ultrasound can identify masses, nodules, and structural abnormalities in the liver, kidneys, and other organs. While it cannot definitively diagnose cancer, it is an important tool that guides your physician’s decision on further workup.

4. Is an abdominal ultrasound painful?

Abdominal ultrasound is painless for most patients. You may feel mild pressure from the transducer, and deep breathing may be required to move organs into better view. If you have tenderness in a specific area, let your sonographer know.

5. Why do I need to fast before an abdominal ultrasound?

Fasting for 8 to 12 hours before the exam ensures your gallbladder is properly distended and reduces bowel gas, both of which significantly improve image quality. You may drink water during the fasting period.

6. What organs does an abdominal ultrasound evaluate?

A complete abdominal ultrasound evaluates the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, and abdominal aorta. Focused exams can target specific organs based on your symptoms.

7. Do I need a referral for an abdominal ultrasound?

Yes, a physician’s order is required for diagnostic abdominal ultrasound. Your primary care doctor, gastroenterologist, or specialist can provide the referral. We can help connect you with a local provider in Auburn if needed.
