Abdominal radiology covers imaging of the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, bowel and pelvic organs. Abdominal pain, jaundice, vomiting, blood in the urine or an unexplained lump can have many causes, and imaging helps separate them quickly.

Anyone searching for ultrasound in Mumbai for abdominal symptoms at Apex is often advised to begin with ultrasound, which is painless, avoids radiation and shows gallstones, kidney stones, liver changes and fluid. CT gives a wider view when the cause remains unclear or when appendicitis, bowel obstruction or a mass is suspected. MRI, including MRCP for the bile ducts, adds detail without radiation.

Preparation matters. Fasting improves ultrasound views of the gallbladder, and a full bladder helps pelvic scans. Patients receive clear instructions when the appointment is booked.

Abdominal radiology services include:

• Abdominal and Pelvic Ultrasound: Real-time scanning of the liver, gallbladder, kidneys, uterus, ovaries and prostate, used for pain, stones, cysts, infection and follow-up of known conditions.
• CT of the Abdomen: Rapid cross-sectional imaging for appendicitis, kidney stones, pancreatitis, abscess, obstruction and injury, often with contrast to outline organs and vessels.
• MRI and MRCP: Radiation-free imaging of the liver, pancreas and bile ducts, helpful for diagnosing gallstones in the duct, strictures and liver lesions.
• Contrast Studies of the Gut: Barium swallow and enema examinations that show the shape and movement of the food pipe, stomach and colon in selected patients.
