Abdominal ultrasound results, what does this mean?

[dave805]

Can a doctor or someone please help me with the translation of my abdominal ultrasound results? Here is some of what was said....

There is a negative sonographic Murphy sign. The pancreas is gassed out. Kidneys are 12cm in length. There is no hydronephrosis, mass or calculus. The abdonminal aorta is not visualized due to surrounding bowel gas. Is it normal to have that much bowel gas that the abdominal aorta cannot be seen. I still have pains in my abdomen. Should I ask for a MRI or CT scan to further investigate my pain? I also had a Hida Scan of my gallbladder with the results being 90% ejection fraction rate at 30 minutes, and I am 43 years old. Thanks in advance...

your u/s is essentially normal.

your pain may be from excessive gas.

MRI will not help, waste of money.

Thank you for you quick response misscat... I still get a aching pain in my gallbladder area. I think the doctors are missing something. I'm gonna request a MRI.

Thanks again
