It does not use X-rays or other types of radiation. A small handheld instrument called a transducer is passed back and forth over the area of the abdomen being examined. It sends out high-pitched sound waves and converts them into a picture that is displayed on a video monitor. The picture produced by ultrasound is called a sonogram, or ultrasound scan.  \nAn ultrasound exam takes anywhere from ten minutes to an hour depending upon the part of the body that is being scanned.  \nTo avoid rescheduling of your appointment please follow the preparation instructions below.  \nULTRASOUND PREP INSTRUCTIONS  \n􀂉 Liver, Gallbladder, Pancreas, Aorta  \n􀁸 For a morning appointment, do not eat or drink from midnight the night before the exam until after the exam is completed.  \n􀁸 For an afternoon appointment, do not eat or drink for at least 8 hours before exam.  \n􀂉 Kidney  \n􀁸 There is no preparation needed.  \nADDITIONAL INFORMATION:  \n􀂾 All patients need to arrive 15-30 minutes before their appointment time to allow for preregistration.  \n􀂾 Please do not bring children that cannot be left unattended.  \n􀂾 If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment please call the appropriate number listed above for that facility.","cbCaij4fIt8R0LJM","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaij4fIt8R0LJM","pdf",26562,"English","# Abdominal Ultrasound Examination\n## Test Overview\n## Ultrasound Prep Instructions\n## Additional Information","[{\"question\":\"What is an abdominal ultrasound?\",\"answer\":\"An abdominal ultrasound is a diagnostic test that uses high-pitched sound waves to produce images of organs and structures inside the abdomen without the use of radiation.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the fasting requirements for liver, gallbladder, pancreas, or aorta ultrasounds?\",\"answer\":\"For morning appointments, you must not eat or drink from midnight before the exam.
