Hiya,

I'm in my mid-forties and was sent to the ultrasound
department to get a better look at my liver. Originally
the reason WHY was because the colesteral was  a little
high and I think they wanted to see how well the liver
was handling some prescription drugs I'm on as well.

Trouble is (if there's trouble) the technician  took a
'grand tour' of all my internal organs instead(!)  I
didn't mind the process but am curious to know how come.

COMMENT:

I hope they had a better reason than that!  Otherwise you and your
insurance company just got ripped off a lot of money.

It seems to be standard here too; at least for relevant areas of the
body. My pelvic ultrsounds always include kidneys etc.
