Service Providers for Portable Ultrasonogram of Portal Vein(P748)
A Portable Ultrasonogram of the Portal Vein (P748) is a diagnostic test that uses sound waves to visualize the portal vein and assess blood flow through it. The portal vein is a major vessel that carries blood from the digestive organs to the liver. This ultrasound is primarily used to detect abnormalities such as blockages, thrombosis, or changes in blood flow that may indicate liver disease, cirrhosis, or portal hypertension. The procedure is non-invasive, painless, and provides real-time imaging, offering valuable insights into the health of the liver and circulatory system. No special preparation is usually required for the test.
