Portable Ultrasonogram of Ascites(P758)

The Portable Ultrasonogram of Ascites (P758) is a non-invasive diagnostic test that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the abdomen, specifically to detect the presence of excess fluid in the abdominal cavity, known as ascites. During the procedure, a technician will apply a gel to your skin and use a handheld device called a transducer to capture images, allowing your healthcare provider to assess the underlying cause of the fluid accumulation and guide further management. The test is painless, quick, and typically does not require any special preparation.
