Sonography
USG WHOLE + OBS. bundles two separate studies into one visit: a whole-abdomen ultrasound covering organs like your liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and kidneys, plus an obstetric scan checking your pregnancy. These aren't the same study split in two. A whole-abdomen scan and a pregnancy scan look at different things for different reasons, and this entry exists for situations where your doctor wants both done together rather than as two separate appointments. That might be because of a symptom unrelated to the pregnancy itself, like abdominal pain, alongside routine pregnancy monitoring, or simply because ordering both at once is more practical for you than two separate visits. Ask your doctor which specific concern prompted each half of this combined study.
This visit combines two checks: a whole-abdomen scan of organs like your liver, gallbladder, and kidneys, and a separate obstetric scan of your pregnancy. Each half is read for its own reason, so ask your doctor what specifically prompted combining the two for your visit.
USG WHOLE + OBS. isn't one test. It's two studies performed together in a single visit: a whole-abdomen ultrasound and an obstetric ultrasound.
The whole-abdomen portion looks at organs including your liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and kidneys, a check that's unrelated to pregnancy and done for its own reasons, such as abdominal pain or a condition your doctor wants to keep an eye on. The obstetric portion separately checks your pregnancy, covering things like your baby's position, growth, or heartbeat depending on your stage.
Combining them into one visit makes sense when there's a genuine reason to check both at the same time, such as an abdominal symptom that needs investigating alongside routine pregnancy monitoring, or simply because it's more practical for you to have one appointment instead of two. It isn't a routine pairing for every pregnant patient.
Because two different areas are being scanned, this visit typically takes longer than either scan on its own. Your doctor reviews the two halves separately, since a finding in one doesn't necessarily relate to the other.

Yes, since two different areas are being scanned, this visit typically takes longer than either study on its own.
Yes. Both halves are standard ultrasound scans using sound waves, with no radiation exposure to you or your baby.
There's no single preparation that applies to every patient across both parts of this visit. Ask your doctor or the centre what they'd like you to do beforehand.
