→General screening: +Report
==General screening==
===Upper abdomen===
For symptoms of the upper abdomen, it is a proper custom to perform a general screening of the following organs:
*'''Pancreas''', mainly for dilatation of the pancreatic duct, or obvious tumors.
Also, it is generally easy to have a quick glance at the kidneys just to exclude hydronephrosis. <br>''In case of suspected pathology, see: [[Ultrasonography of the urinary system]]''
;Report
Gallbladder with thin wall and no gallstones. Normal width of the intra-and extrahepatic bile ducts.
<br>Liver with normal echogenicity and no focal lesions.
<br>Normal head and body of the pancreas.
<br>Normal sized spleen.
===Lower abdomen===
Ultrasonographies of the lower abdomen can generally be focused on the condition requested in the referral.
