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 Citrus Heights 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.
