A member asked:

What are possible reasons for a chest xray and full abdominal ultrasound?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Bruce J. Stringer answered

Specializes in Radiology

Too many to list: There are almost innumerable reasons to prompt these exams. You should ask the provider who requested that these exams be done. The clinical concerns that prompted the request should be specified on the referral slip.
