Information

Doctor's assessment included

Once your results are ready, a licensed doctor will review them alongside the health information you have provided. You'll receive a personalized written assessment to help you understand what your results mean for your health and whether there is anything you should be aware of or can do to improve your health.

What does the doctor's assessment include?

  • Overall assessment – a summary of your examination results and what they may indicate about your health.
  • Explanation of your results – what your blood test values or findings from an imaging examination mean.
  • Comments on abnormalities – what abnormal values or findings may indicate and whether further follow-up is needed.
  • Personalized recommendations – advice on how to improve or maintain your health and whether further medical follow-up is recommended.

What happens if something abnormal is found?

An abnormal result doesn't necessarily mean something is wrong. Your doctor will make an individual assessment and explain any abnormal values or findings in your written report.

If your results show significant abnormalities or require prompt follow-up, a doctor will also contact you by phone at no extra cost.

The assessment is based on your examination results and the health information you have provided. It does not replace a comprehensive medical examination.

Abdominal ultrasound is an imaging examination primarily used to investigate a specific medical question. Ultrasound can be used to assess, among other things, the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, kidneys, spleen and parts of the pancreas.

Abdominal ultrasound – for abdominal pain, swelling or abnormal test results

Abdominal ultrasound may, for example, be used when there is a suspicion of gallstones, changes in the liver or bile ducts, fluid in the abdomen or certain changes in the kidneys. It can also be used to follow up previously known findings in the abdomen.

Abdominal ultrasound is not a general screening examination and should not be used to check whether all organs in the abdomen are healthy. What can be assessed depends, among other things, on the underlying medical question, where in the abdomen the symptoms are located and need to be examined, and the anatomical conditions.

Abdominal ultrasound – for targeted medical questions

Abdominal ultrasound may be appropriate when symptoms or test results raise suspicion of a specific change in the abdomen. This may, for example, involve pain beneath the right rib cage with suspected gallstones, elevated liver test results, fluid in the abdomen or questions relating to the kidneys.

Common symptoms and medical questions

Abdominal ultrasound may, among other things, be used for:

  • pain in the upper abdomen, for example when gallstones are suspected
  • elevated liver test results or suspected changes in the liver or bile ducts
  • suspected fluid accumulation in the abdomen, known as ascites
  • suspected cysts or other localised changes in the liver or kidneys
  • questions relating to the kidneys and urinary tract, for example suspected urinary obstruction
  • follow-up of previous findings in, for example, the liver, kidneys or spleen

Symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea and bloating can have many different causes. Ultrasound is therefore not always the appropriate examination based on a symptom alone. The choice of imaging method should be based on what specifically needs to be investigated.

What can be seen on an abdominal ultrasound?

Ultrasound cannot rule out all types of disease or changes in the abdomen. Gas in the bowel, body build and the position of the organs can affect image quality. For some medical questions, CT or MRI may therefore be more appropriate. Abdominal ultrasound can, among other things, be used to assess:

  • gallstones and certain changes in the gallbladder and bile ducts
  • fatty changes, cysts and certain other changes in the liver
  • fluid accumulation in the abdominal cavity
  • cysts and certain structural changes in the kidneys
  • dilatation of the renal pelvis or other signs of urinary obstruction
  • enlargement or other structural changes in the spleen
  • certain changes in the pancreas, when the organ can be visualised sufficiently well

How an abdominal ultrasound is performed

The examination is performed while you are lying on your back. Gel is applied to the skin and the doctor moves the ultrasound probe over the abdominal area to assess the internal organs. The examination takes approximately 20–30 minutes and is completely painless. For the best image quality, you should fast for 4–6 hours beforehand, as gas and food in the bowel can affect the images. If necessary, the urinary bladder may also be examined while full in order to assess urinary drainage from the kidneys.

Book an abdominal ultrasound – receive a report from a specialist doctor

The images are reviewed by a specialist doctor in radiology, who prepares a written medical report. The results are delivered digitally within a few working days and can be shared with your treating doctor for further follow-up or treatment. If necessary, findings may be followed up with MRI or CT for more detailed assessment.

The abdomen is the body's internal hub, where several of our most important organs are gathered in a protected but flexible space. These organs include digestive organs such as the stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver, gallbladder and pancreas. These organs are responsible for the breakdown and absorption of nutrients, as well as detoxification and metabolism.

The kidneys and ureters are also located in the abdomen, which are responsible for purifying the blood and regulating both fluid and salt balance. The spleen is part of the immune system and breaks down old blood cells. All of these organs are surrounded by a protective peritoneum and are stored in different layers of muscle, fat and connective tissue that make up the abdominal wall. The abdomen is a very rich area of ​​both blood vessels and nerves, which makes it sensitive to both illness and injury.

After your order has been completed, we will send a referral for your ultrasound examination. You will receive a phone call from the referring physician at our clinic, who will go through your medical history and current symptoms. After that, your referral will be forwarded to the radiology clinic.

Before an ultrasound examination of the abdomen and other organs, it is important to follow the preparation instructions in the appointment letter you received from the radiology department. For examinations of organs in the upper part of the abdomen (such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and spleen), you will usually need to fast for about 6 hours before the examination.

For other types of ultrasound, such as examinations of the carotid arteries, thyroid gland, or soft tissues, no specific preparation is usually required.

Always bring valid identification and please arrive in good time.

  • Fasting 6 hours before the examination.

After your ultrasound examination has been performed, the imaging material is reviewed by a radiology specialist. The radiologist assesses the examination based on the question stated in your referral and writes a medical response to the doctor who ordered the examination.

Our referring physician will then review the report and return to you with a written medical assessment and clear guidance on what the results mean for you.

If the ultrasound shows signs of abnormal findings, we will ensure that you receive a referral to an appropriate healthcare provider, if necessary, or receive advice on how to follow up on the examination. This is always included in the price.
