In order to optimize imaging of the pelvic anatomy during a transabdominal ultrasound the bladder should be full.
What is a bladder ultrasound?
- Using sound waves, an ultrasound of the bladder produces images of the bladder before and after urination (peeing). After sound waves from an ultrasound machine are directed into the bladder region, pictures are recorded on a computer.
- The black-and-white images reveal the internal organization of the bladder as well as the amount of urine it holds.
What does a full bladder do for ultrasound?
- The purpose of this test is to identify abnormalities of the urinary tract, such as kidney stones, cysts, or tumours.
- It's crucial to drink plenty of water before imaging because a renal ultrasound is used to calculate bladder volume.
