Echo abdomen
An ultrasound of the abdomen, also known as abdominal ultrasound, is a medical imaging technique that uses sound waves to create images of the organs in the abdominal cavity. This examination is often used to assess the condition of various organs in the abdomen, such as the liver, kidneys, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen and bladder.
What exactly does that mean?
Our strength is that you can consult a team of specialists during one appointment, as well as have a battery of medical examinations. Our team of specialists includes a cardiologist, internist gastroenterologist, vascular surgeon, urologist, nose-throat-ear specialist and gynaecologist. The screening is followed by a discussion with the specialist and, at the latest within a week, a complete medical report with the results and your personal recommendations (e.g. adjusting lifestyle, starting medication, referral to another specialist or for further examination, etc.).
