About The Test

What this combined scan examines

  • Liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys
  • Bladder, uterus, ovaries, prostate (if applicable)
  • Major blood vessels feeding these organs

Importance in early diagnosis

Spotting gallstones, cysts, tumors, or fluid collections early prevents complications and reduces treatment costs.


What is Abdomen-Pelvis Ultrasound Scan?

Definition and purpose

An Abdomen-Pelvis Ultrasound Scan uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of both the upper abdomen and lower pelvis in one session.

Difference from separate abdominal or pelvic scans

  • Single appointment instead of two
  • Unified report for faster treatment planning
  • Reduced cost compared to booking tests separately

Types of Abdomen-Pelvis Ultrasound Scan

Transabdominal approach

  • Probe moves across the skin of the abdomen and lower pelvis
  • Requires a full bladder for pelvic images

Transvaginal or transrectal add-ons when needed

  • Transvaginal: Clearer uterine/ovarian images in women
  • Transrectal: Detailed prostate assessment in men

List of Parameters

Organ What We Check For
Liver Size, fat infiltration, masses
Gallbladder Stones, wall thickness, polyps
Kidneys Stones, cysts, hydronephrosis
Pancreas Inflammation, tumors
Spleen Size, lesions
Uterus Fibroids, lining thickness
Ovaries Cysts, torsion
Bladder Wall thickness, stones, residual urine
Prostate Enlargement, nodules (men only)

Why This Test

  • Unexplained pain or bloating
  • Menstrual irregularities or severe cramps
  • Urinary issues such as urgency or incontinence
  • Follow-up after CT/MRI shows unclear findings
