Ultrasonogram of Ascites Price in Bangladesh

What is Ultrasonogram of Ascites?

An ultrasonogram of ascites is a diagnostic imaging procedure used to detect the presence of fluid buildup in the abdominal cavity, a condition known as ascites. The procedure involves applying a gel to the abdomen and using a transducer to send high-frequency sound waves through the body.

These waves bounce off the fluid and tissues, creating real-time images that help identify the amount and location of the fluid. An ultrasound is often used to assess the underlying causes of ascites, such as liver disease, heart failure, or cancer.

The procedure is non-invasive, safe, and painless, with results typically available immediately.

What to expect & how to prepare

An ultrasound scan uses high-frequency sound waves to look at organs, vessels or a pregnancy in real time. A sonologist applies gel to the skin and moves a probe over the area. Nothing is injected.

• Preparation varies by body part: some scans need a full bladder, some need a few hours without food, and many need nothing at all. Ask the centre which applies to your scan when you book.
• Clothing: wear something loose that gives easy access to the area being scanned.
• Bring earlier reports: previous scans help the sonologist compare findings.

Ultrasound uses no ionising radiation, which is why it is the routine choice in pregnancy.

Performed by a sonologist or radiologist; most centres ask for the referring doctor's advice so the right area is scanned.
