? for UltraSound Techs?

I went today for a ultrasound due to a dull stomach-ache on my right side and pelvic pressure.

The ultrasound tech took 4 pics of my left upper adomenen and going on for 20 of my right.

Would this be cause for alarm that they found something? Or due to I don`t know the Dr. specifiying in the paperwork the pain be on the right?

At our hospital we have to hang about for the results to go pay for to our family Dr. The ultrasound tech does not diagnos.

Have you hear that mammograms cause breast cancer?


When we do an abdominal ultrasound in my facility, we document the following organs. The aorta and pancreas (located pretty much mid stripe in the body), the liver, gallbladder, adjectives bile duct and right kidney (all in the right side of the abdomen) and the spleen and not here kidney (left side of the body). More pix would be taken on the right side of the body as that is where on earth the majority of the organs that are visualized next to ultrasound are located. Also, you are correct, the ultrasonographer cannot give out results. Take a open breath and wait for your doctor appointment. And remember, if something serious be found at your study, the radiologist would have promptly call your referring physician. Take care.....
