Abdominal Ultrasound in Budapest – Fast, Safe & Accurate Diagnosis

Abdominal ultrasound is a modern, painless, and non-invasive imaging procedure used to examine the internal organs within the abdominal cavity. This safe diagnostic method allows doctors to clearly visualize the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, spleen, and other structures using sound waves. At our clinics in Budapest, experienced radiologists perform abdominal ultrasound exams with precision and care, helping patients maintain or restore their health.

When Is Abdominal Ultrasound Recommended?

You may be referred for an abdominal ultrasound if you experience any of the following symptoms or conditions:

• Persistent or recurring abdominal pain

• Bloating, indigestion, or digestive complaints

• Unexplained weight loss or gain

• Post-trauma assessment of abdominal organs

• Suspected liver or gallbladder conditions (e.g., fatty liver, cirrhosis, gallstones)

• Kidney-related symptoms (e.g., pain, blood in urine, suspected kidney stones)

• Suspected pancreatic issues (inflammation, tumors)

• Routine monitoring of chronic conditions such as diabetes or hypertension

How to Prepare for an Abdominal Ultrasound?

Proper preparation is essential to ensure accurate results. Follow these preparation tips before your appointment:

Diet

• Please arrive fasting. Avoid eating for at least 6 hours before your ultrasound.

• On the day before your exam, eat light, fat-free meals that do not cause bloating.

• Avoid gas-producing foods such as beans, cabbage, dairy, whole grains, and carbonated drinks.

Fluid Intake

• You may drink still (non-carbonated) water before the exam, but limit intake during the hour prior.

• Avoid coffee, tea, milk, and sugary or fizzy beverages on the day of your exam.

Medications

• Regular medications can usually be taken, unless your doctor instructs otherwise.

• Inform your radiologist or technician about all medications you're currently taking.

What Happens During the Examination?

Abdominal ultrasound is quick and completely painless. You will lie on your back while the radiologist applies a special gel to your abdomen and uses a handheld transducer to capture images of the internal organs. The scan typically takes 15–20 minutes and provides real-time visual information.

After the Examination

No special aftercare is needed. Patients can resume their daily activities immediately following the scan. You will receive a written report of your ultrasound results, which can be reviewed with your referring physician to determine any next steps.
