The abdominal ultrasound service guide explains the examination, organs assessed and limitations. Bring any referral, relevant test results or previous scan reports that explain the reason for your visit.
Conditions Diagnosed by Abdominal Scan
This scan is useful for diagnosing a wide range of conditions, particularly those involving the major organs and soft tissues of the abdomen. Below are some of the most common conditions that can be identified with this type of scan:
Gallstones
Hard deposits that form in the gallbladder, causing pain and potential blockages in bile ducts.
Kidney Stones
Solid mineral deposits in the kidneys that can cause severe pain and obstruct urine flow.
Liver Disease
Includes conditions like fatty liver, cirrhosis, or liver inflammation, affecting liver function and overall health.
Pancreatitis
Inflammation of the pancreas, leading to severe abdominal pain and digestive issues.
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
A bulging or weakening of the abdominal aorta, which can be life-threatening if it ruptures.
Tumours and Masses
Ultrasound can detect abnormal growths or masses in the liver, pancreas, kidneys, or other abdominal organs.
Ascites
The buildup of fluid in the abdomen, often associated with liver disease or cancer.
Appendicitis
Inflammation of the appendix, which can lead to emergency surgery if untreated.
Enlarged Organs
The scan can detect the enlargement of organs like the spleen, liver, or kidneys, indicating underlying conditions.
Biliary Obstruction
Blockages in the bile ducts, often caused by gallstones or tumours, can be diagnosed through an abdominal scan.
What does the appointment cost?
The published adult abdominal scan fee is £160 with a report included. Confirm the current fee and any additional requirements when arranging your visit. Please contact us for children’s appointments rather than selecting an adult booking.
Preparing for your visit to Broughton
Check your preparation instructions before the day of the scan, including any fasting requirements. Tell the team if you need individual advice about diabetes or medicines. Choose clothing that allows access to your abdomen and bring the booking confirmation with the branch address.
If you have a follow-up consultation elsewhere, ask about report delivery before arranging that appointment. Avoid planning around an assumed immediate written result.

Common Questions We Hear From Patients
What organs are looked at during an abdominal ultrasound?
An abdominal ultrasound examines key organs including the liver, kidneys, pancreas, spleen, gallbladder, and blood vessels such as the abdominal aorta. This scan helps assess the overall health of your abdominal organs and detect any abnormalities.
What diseases can an abdominal ultrasound detect?
An abdominal ultrasound can help detect conditions like liver disease, kidney stones, gallstones, tumors, cysts, and abdominal aortic aneurysms. It is also useful for diagnosing inflammation or infection in abdominal organs.
What is the difference between pelvic scan and abdominal scan?
An abdominal scan focuses on the upper and lower abdomen, examining organs such as the liver, kidneys, and spleen. A pelvic scan, however, specifically targets the lower abdomen, including organs like the bladder, uterus, and ovaries. Both scans use ultrasound technology, but they focus on different areas of the body.
What to wear to abdominal ultrasound?
For your abdominal ultrasound, wear loose, comfortable clothing. You may be asked to lift your top or remove clothing from your waist down to allow easy access to your abdomen for the scan.
How long does an upper abdominal ultrasound take?
An upper abdominal ultrasound typically takes around 20 to 30 minutes. The procedure is non-invasive and relatively quick, allowing us to provide you with a thorough assessment of your abdominal health.
