Abdominal Ultrasound  Service: Type:  This Diagnostic is Offered
At  Abdominal ultrasound is a painless exam that uses high-
frequency sound waves to capture images of internal views of the
stomach and nearby blood vessels. A special jelly is placed on
your stomach while a wand-like device called a transducer is
moved around. Internal images of the area show on a screen and
can be recorded as a video and printed as a photo. This painless
test lasts about 15–20 minutes.  A Doppler ultrasound may be
used to capture images of the movement of blood through your
blood vessels. Ultrasound can show plaque buildup in the
vascular system and help detect abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).
