Abdominal, Urinary Tract And Testicular Scan

An Upper Abdominal, Urinary Tract, and Testicular Scan is a highly effective, non-invasive imaging procedure designed to assess the health of key organs in the upper abdomen, urinary system, and testicles. This scan offers a detailed overview of your digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems, helping diagnose conditions early and ensuring peace of mind regarding your health.

What is an Upper Abdominal, Urinary Tract, and Testicular Scan?

This ultrasound scan is a multi-area examination that provides insight into the following systems:

  1. Upper Abdominal Organs: The scan evaluates organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, and kidneys, looking for signs of liver disease, gallstones, pancreatitis, or kidney stones.
  2. Urinary Tract: Includes the bladder, kidneys, and ureters, where the scan detects issues like urinary tract infections (UTIs), blockages, or kidney stones.
  3. Testicles: The scan checks the testicles, epididymis, and surrounding structures for conditions such as testicular torsion, varicoceles, cysts, or tumors.

  2. Kidney stones or blockages affecting the urinary system

  4. Testicular torsion, a serious condition requiring immediate care
  5. Varicoceles (enlarged veins in the scrotum) or hydrocele (fluid around the testicle)
