Abdomen Ultrasound
Harbour Radiology provides an extensive range of high quality bulk billed ultrasound imaging including abdomen ultrasounds. Abdomen ultrasound scans use no radiation and instead utilise high frequency sound waves to image the internal organs inside your abdomen, including, but not limited to, the appendix, liver, pancreas, kidney and spleen.
The scan does not require any invasive imaging as the ultrasound probe is run across the stomach/lower abdomen area.
