Feedback:
Ultrasound can identify gallstones and abdominal tumors. This test is becoming the preferred diagnostic tool, especially to rule out gallstones, pancreatic cysts, and cancerous tumors. Angiography and arteriography may be done to evaluate vascular structures, and CT scans are used to identify various abnormalities or tumors. Nuclear uptake scans using a radionuclide, such as technetium 99 (Tc-99m sulfide), will show size, structure, and abnormalities of the stomach, liver, and hepatobiliary system.
