Ultrasound examination in gastroenterology is a non-invasive and safe diagnostic method that enables a detailed examination of the organs of the abdominal cavity and an assessment of their appearance and function. This examination plays an important role in detecting various changes in the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen and other structures of the digestive system, as well as in monitoring pre-existing conditions.
What is an ultrasound examination?
An ultrasound examination in gastroenterology is a non-invasive diagnostic method that uses ultrasound waves to display the organs and structures in the abdominal cavity. The examination allows the physician to assess the appearance, size, structure and any changes in the organs of the digestive system, without exposing the patient to radiation.
During an ultrasound examination, the physician uses an ultrasound probe to examine the organs of the abdomen and, based on the images obtained, assesses their condition. This method is completely safe, painless and can be repeated multiple times, which makes it suitable both for diagnostics and for the monitoring of various disorders.
Abdominal ultrasound plays a significant role in detecting changes in the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, pancreas, spleen, kidneys and other structures of the abdominal cavity. The examination can help in detecting fatty liver, gallstones, cysts, inflammatory processes, changes in organs and other conditions that require further monitoring or treatment.
An ultrasound examination in gastroenterology is most often recommended for:
- pain and discomfort in the abdomen,
- bloating and digestive problems,
- nausea and a feeling of heaviness after meals,
- changes in the function of the gallbladder and bile ducts,
- monitoring of liver disease,
- monitoring of chronic disorders of the digestive system,
- assessment of the condition after certain therapies or surgical interventions.
At Poliklinika Beograd, the ultrasound examination is performed by experienced specialist physicians using modern ultrasound equipment that enables a precise assessment of the patient's health condition. After the examination, the physician analyzes the findings, explains the results and provides recommendations for further monitoring, additional diagnostics or appropriate treatment if necessary.

Symptoms
An ultrasound examination in gastroenterology is recommended when there are symptoms that may indicate disorders or diseases of the abdominal organs. Timely diagnosis allows the physician to assess the condition of the digestive system organs, detect possible changes, and determine an appropriate treatment or follow-up plan.
The most common symptoms and reasons for performing an ultrasound examination include:
- pain or discomfort in the stomach,
- a feeling of bloating, pressure, or heaviness in the stomach,
- nausea and vomiting,
- digestive problems and a feeling of discomfort after meals,
- loss of appetite or unexplained loss of body weight,
- changes in bowel function that persist over a longer period,
- pain below the right costal arch that may be related to the gallbladder or liver,
- yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes,
- elevated liver enzyme values in laboratory tests,
- suspicion of gallstones or changes in the abdominal organs,
- monitoring of already diagnosed diseases of the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, or other organs.
An ultrasound examination may also be recommended as a preventive check-up, especially in people who have risk factors for developing diseases of the digestive system or who require regular monitoring of their health status.
At Poliklinika Beograd, specialist physicians assess each patient's symptoms individually and, if necessary, recommend an ultrasound examination as a reliable, safe, and non-invasive method for the timely detection of changes and the preservation of digestive system health.

Images of the internal organs, which the doctor analyzes, are displayed on the monitor. The examination is painless, takes a short time, and does not require any special intervention after it is completed.
For certain ultrasound examinations of the abdomen, preparation may be required in order to obtain the most accurate finding possible. It is most often advised to come for the examination on an empty stomach, that is, to avoid food for several hours before the examination, but the exact recommendations depend on the type of examination and the doctor's advice.
