With abdominal ultrasound, the internal organs of the abdomen area are observed: liver, pancreas, spleen, gallbladder and kidneys, together with the contents of the abdomen (ascitic fluid, etc.), bile ducts and blood vessels<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
