Upper Abdomen

Ultrasound Scan for Men

Our Men’s Upper Abdomen Ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive imaging specialist test designed to provide clarity on your internal health. By utilizing advanced high-frequency sound waves, we capture detailed, real-time images of the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen, as well as the biliary system and abdominal aorta.

This comprehensive evaluation allows our clinicians to assess organ health accurately, identifying signs of liver disease, gallstones, kidney issues, or vascular conditions. Whether you are monitoring an existing condition or seeking a proactive health check, this scan offers the vital information needed to support your ongoing wellbeing.

What organs are evaluated?

Our comprehensive upper abdominal assessment includes a detailed examination of the following:

  • Liver: Checking for size, texture, and signs of fatty liver or lesions.

  • Gallbladder: Screening for gallstones, wall thickening, or polyps.

  • Biliary System: Evaluating the bile ducts for blockages or inflammation.

  • Pancreas: Assessing for inflammation or abnormalities.

  • Kidneys: Identifying kidney stones, cysts, or structural concerns.

  • Spleen: Checking for enlargement or other changes.

  • Abdominal Aorta: Screening for an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA).

Why should I have this scan?

You may be referred by a clinician or choose to book a private scan if you are experiencing:

  • Persistent upper abdominal or "loin" (side) pain.

  • Unexplained bloating or digestive discomfort.

  • Symptoms of gallstones or kidney stones.

  • Abnormal blood test results (such as deranged liver function tests).

  • A history of liver lesions, fatty liver, or gallbladder polyps requiring monitoring.

  • Concerns regarding vomiting or nausea.

How to prepare for your scan

To ensure the clearest possible images, please follow these preparation guidelines:

  • Fast for 6–8 hours: Please do not eat or drink (except for small sips of water) for at least 6 hours before your appointment. This reduces bowel gas and ensures the gallbladder is distended for better visualization.

  • Medication: Continue taking any regular prescribed medication with a small amount of water. If you are diabetic, please contact us for specific advice regarding your fasting schedule.

  • What to wear: We recommend loose-fitting, comfortable clothing. You may be asked to lift your top to allow the sonographer to apply a small amount of warm gel to your abdomen.
