Author : Harmony Clinic | Published On : 18 Apr 2026
However, if your physician suggests undergoing an abdomen ultrasound, some information about what to expect will assist you in being ready for the procedure. Abdomen ultrasounds at Harmony Digestive and Liver Wellness Centre are simple, quick, and pain-free procedures.
A few hours before the procedure, you will have to be fasting since it can enhance the image obtained. During the procedure, you will be lying on a table as a special gel will be applied to your abdomen. Then, a probe that moves across the surface of your skin will take pictures inside the abdomen.
The abdomen ultrasound procedure will take less than half an hour, and it is pain-free and fast. You will only feel some pressure on the area but no pain.
Abdomen ultrasounds allow the detection of problems such as the presence of gallstones, kidney stones, infections, and abnormal liver. Furthermore, when a Doppler imaging technique is used, the movement of blood through different organs in the abdomen can be assessed.
Radiologists will perform and assess the procedure for your condition at Harmony Digestive and Liver Wellness Centre.
