Q: why abdominal ultra sound not including stomach scan?

: An abdominal ultrasound does not include good visualization of the stomach, primarily because The air and gases inside the stomach make it a difficult organ to visualize using ultrasound. A CT scan or an endoscopy are better ways to visualize the stomach. Good luck.

1 Mon ago i suff from GERD + weird abdominal sounds( empty/without empty stomach). my acidity is cured now but i am i am still getting sounds . why ?

When i tap on the left side if my upper abdomen, it sounds very hollow, as well as being painful.

I would like to record some of the noises my upper abdomen has been making for the past couple of months and bring it to my doctor. Is there some kind of device I can buy to stick on my abdomen overnight that can record sounds?
