Abdomen and Stomach sonography (ultrasound)

How should you prepare for abdomen or stomach sonography and what is it’s course

In case of an ultrasound examination (ultrasonography or echocardiography that doctors use) ultrasound waves pass through you body, which bounce back from inside your abdomen and stomach, eventually also from transitions between tissues with different acoustic impedances.

The doctor will inform you, how to correctly lay down on the medical bed. As part of the examination, the doctor uses a special gel, which guarantees a safe contact of a probe with your body and using ultrasound takes the necessary images. You do not have to worry, ultrasonography is completely painless and doesn’t stress your body with x-rays. Everything is absolutely safe.

You can come to have an examination even without a referral from your general practitioner or a specialist. In most cases, there is no special preparation needed beforehand, except for the above mentioned abdomen ultrasound, when you should not eat at least 6 hours prior to the examination, otherwise it is very difficult to achieve the best result of the examination.
