Ultrasound (sonography) is an imaging method for examining sensitive tissues and organs.

One advantage of using ultrasound as opposed to X-rays is the harmlessness of the sound waves that are used.

When do I need abdominal ultrasound? 

• suspicious laboratory results, for differential diagnostics
• abdominal pain
• certain diseases (e.g. virus infections)
• family history of e.g. liver and kidney cysts
• immune deficiency
• liver function disorders
• kidney pain
• difficulty peeing (pain, retention of urine)
• metabolic disorders
• Overweight / underweight
• digestion problems

Abdominal ultrasound allows the detection of

• inflammations of the abdomen
• bladder, gall and kidney stones
• vascular malformation (aortic aneurysm)
• retention and congestion of urine
• malformations
• organ function disorders (e.g. concerning intestinal transport)
• organ abnormalities (e.g. diverticula, cysts, tumors, metastases)
• wateriness
