What this scan assesses

A targeted evaluation of the liver, gallbladder, common bile duct, and right kidney to check for:

• Gallstones and cholecystitis (inflammation)
• Biliary dilation/obstruction and sludge
• Fatty liver, cysts, focal lesions
• Right renal hydronephrosis, stones, or cysts
• Limited assessment of adjacent structures when visualized (e.g., porta hepatis); if a broader view is needed, we may recommend an Abdomen Complete.

Medical disclaimer

This scan is for medical screening/diagnostic assessment and does not replace care from your primary physician or specialist. Abnormal findings may require further testing or referral. If you have severe/worsening abdominal pain, fever with vomiting, chest pain, fainting, or signs of internal bleeding or jaundice with dark urine, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.

How to prepare

Who this scan can help

• RUQ pain, nausea after fatty meals, suspected gallstones/biliary colic
