Ultrasonography is a noninvasive method of diagnostic testing in which ultrasound waves are sent into the body with a small transducer pressed against the skin. The transducer then receives any returning sound waves, which are deflected back as they bounce off various structures. The transducer converts the returning sound waves into electric signals that are then transformed by a computer into a visual display on a monitor.
In this particular type of ultrasonography, the areas evaluated include those studied in the liver and pancreatobiliary system sonogram (gallbladder, biliary system, liver, and pancreas) along with the spleen, kidneys, and aorta.
