What is Abdominal Ultrasound?

Abdominal ultrasound is one of the most commonly used imaging examinations, providing a detailed view of the internal organs of the abdominal cavity. The examination also covers the kidneys, and a urinary tract ultrasound (kidneys and bladder) is also available as a separate examination.

With this non-invasive examination, the doctor assesses:

Liver – fatty liver disease, cysts, tumours, cirrhosis
Gallbladder – gallstones, inflammation
Pancreas – inflammation, cysts, tumours
Kidneys – stones, cysts, hydronephrosis
Spleen – enlargement, injuries
Blood vessels – aorta, inferior vena cava

How does the examination proceed?

Abdominal ultrasound is a completely painless and safe examination that takes approximately 15–30 minutes:

  1. 1You lie on your back on the examination table.
  2. 2The doctor applies a transparent gel to the abdominal skin, which improves contact between the probe and the body.
  3. 3The probe emits high-frequency sound waves that reflect off tissues and organs.
  4. 4The image of internal organs is displayed in real time on the screen.
  5. 5The doctor systematically examines all abdominal organs and assesses their condition.

Ultrasound does not use ionising radiation – suitable for all age groups, including pregnant women and children.

Preparation for abdominal ultrasound

For optimal examination results, please follow these instructions:

Fast beforehand

Do not eat for at least 6 hours before the examination. You may drink small amounts of water.

Drink fluids

Before the examination, it is recommended to drink 2–3 glasses of water so that the bladder is full. A full bladder improves the visibility of the lower abdominal organs.

Comfortable clothing

Wear clothing that allows easy access to the abdomen.

Bring documentation

If you have previous reports or images, please bring them with you.

Why fast?

Fasting reduces the amount of gas in the digestive tract and improves organ visibility.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an abdominal ultrasound in Ljubljana cost?

The price of abdominal ultrasound at Ultrazdravje is €90. It is a self-pay service that does not require a referral. An appointment can be obtained within 24–48 hours.

How do I prepare for an abdominal ultrasound?

On the day of the examination you must fast – do not eat for at least 6 hours beforehand. It is recommended to drink 2–3 glasses of water before the examination so that the bladder is full. Fasting reduces the amount of gas in the digestive tract, and a full bladder improves the visibility of the lower abdominal organs.

How long does an abdominal ultrasound take?

The examination takes approximately 15–30 minutes, depending on the scope of the examination and anatomical characteristics. You receive the report and explanation of results immediately after the examination.

Is an abdominal ultrasound painful?

No, abdominal ultrasound is a completely painless and non-invasive examination. You will only feel slight pressure from the probe on the skin and cool gel. The examination does not use radiation and is safe for all age groups.

What does an abdominal ultrasound show?

Abdominal ultrasound enables examination of the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, spleen and major blood vessels. It detects cysts, tumours, gallstones and kidney stones, inflammation, fatty liver disease, cirrhosis and other structural organ changes.

Where in Ljubljana can I have an abdominal ultrasound?

You can have an abdominal ultrasound at Ultrazdravje practice at Štihova ulica 3 in Ljubljana. We are located near the city centre, with good accessibility and parking options. For an appointment, call 01 777 42 55 or book online.

Does an abdominal ultrasound include the kidneys and urinary tract?

Yes, the kidneys are part of a standard abdominal ultrasound. If you are mainly interested in the urinary tract (kidneys and bladder), you can also book a separate urinary tract ultrasound, which costs €90.

What does an abdominal ultrasound not show well?

Ultrasound shows organs hidden behind intestinal gas less clearly, which is why fasting matters. It does not assess the inside of the stomach or bowel — other examinations are used for that. If a further examination makes sense, the doctor will advise you when explaining the report.

Can I take my regular medication before an abdominal ultrasound?

As a rule, take your regular medication as usual with a little water. If you have diabetes or special instructions regarding fasting, consult your doctor about preparation beforehand.

When will I receive the abdominal ultrasound report?

You receive the report immediately after the examination and the doctor explains the findings. You can then show the report to your GP or specialist.

Do you work with referrals?

No. We are a self-pay practice, so no referral is needed. The price of the examination is known in advance and published on this page, and an appointment is usually available within 24–48 hours. You can book online or by phone at 01 777 42 55.
