Service Providers for Portable Ultrasonogram of Ascites(P758)
A Portable Ultrasonogram of Ascites (P758) is a non-invasive procedure used to detect the presence of fluid buildup in the abdominal cavity, known as ascites. This test uses a portable ultrasound machine to visualize the abdomen and assess the volume and distribution of fluid. It is typically used to diagnose conditions like liver cirrhosis, heart failure, or cancers that cause fluid accumulation. The procedure involves applying a gel to the abdomen and using a handheld probe to capture real-time images. There is no special preparation required, and the test is painless. Results help in diagnosing the underlying cause of ascites and guiding treatment.
