Diagnostic Test

Abdominal Ultrasound Scan

An abdominal ultrasound scan had been conducted for the process of checking the
major organs in the abdominal cavity. These organs include the gallbladder, kidneys, liver,
pancreas, and spleen. It has been observed that when the patient feels that there are any
changes or abnormalities or none, it is necessary to have regular checkups to be able to detect
any issues that can be given action or treatment as early as possible.
The abdominal ultrasound uses sound waves to help produce pictures of the structures
within the upper abdomen. It involves sending high-frequency sound waves into the body that
reflect off of organs and other structures inside the body, then the receiver then picks up these
response signals.
The results indicated and confirmed the diagnosis that the client has intussusception.
Intussusception is a serious condition in which part of the intestine slides into an adjacent part of
the intestine. It can be seen from the said procedure, which typically shows a “bull eye”,
representing that the intestine has been coiled within the intestine. There is swelling in the
lining of the intestine, which then slips into the intestine below.
