A whole abdomen ultrasound in Delhi is a painless, radiation-free scan that examines all the major organs of the abdomen and pelvis in a single sitting — the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, urinary bladder and more. It is one of the most commonly advised scans for abdominal pain, stones, and general check-ups because it gives a lot of useful information quickly and safely. At Edge Imaging & Diagnostics in Paschim Vihar, West Delhi, the whole abdomen ultrasound is performed thoroughly on high-resolution equipment.
This guide explains what a whole abdomen ultrasound covers, why it is done, how to prepare, and what to expect.

What Is a Whole Abdomen Ultrasound?
A whole abdomen ultrasound (also called an ultrasound of the abdomen and pelvis) uses sound waves to image the abdominal organs and look for problems such as stones, cysts, swelling, fluid or growths. Being radiation-free, it is safe to repeat and is a common first-line test before deciding whether any further scan, such as a CT, is needed.
What Organs Does It Cover?
- Liver: size, texture, fatty liver, cysts or lesions
- Gallbladder & bile ducts: gallstones, wall thickening, blockage
- Pancreas and spleen
- Kidneys & ureters: stones, swelling (hydronephrosis), cysts
- Urinary bladder and, in the pelvis, the uterus/ovaries or prostate
- Abdominal aorta and any free fluid in the abdomen
Why Is a Whole Abdomen Ultrasound Done?
- Abdominal pain of any kind, or bloating and discomfort
- Suspected gallstones or kidney stones
- Fatty liver or abnormal liver function tests
- Urinary symptoms, blood in urine, or recurrent infections
- Unexplained fever, weight loss or as part of a general health check
| Common findings | Where |
|---|---|
| Gallstones | Gallbladder |
| Kidney stones / swelling | Kidneys & ureters |
| Fatty liver / cysts | Liver |
| Enlarged organs or fluid | Spleen, abdomen |
When Further Tests Are Advised
If the scan shows fatty liver, your doctor may advise a non-invasive FibroScan to assess liver stiffness and fat more precisely. Other findings may lead to blood tests, a CT scan, or a targeted ultrasound, depending on what is seen.
How to Prepare and Is It Safe?
For the clearest images you are usually asked to fast for about 6–8 hours (so the gallbladder is full and bowel gas is reduced) and to come with a comfortably full bladder. The scan is completely safe and painless, uses no radiation, and takes about 20–30 minutes. It is part of our wider ultrasound services.
