Mesenteric Artery Ultrasound

What is a mesenteric artery ultrasound?MesentericArteryUltrasound Procedure

A mesenteric ultrasound is a non-invasive test using sound waves, gel and a small probe to produce an image of the mesenteric arteries. An ultrasound uses no radiation, dyes, or needles.

Why am I having a mesenteric ultrasound?

A mesenteric ultrasound evaluates for blockages or areas of narrowing in the arteries that supply blood to the abdominal organs.

How your exam is performed:

  • You will be asked a brief history relating to the exam.
  • You will then be asked to lie on your back.
  • A sonographer will apply gel to the area of the abdomen being evaluated. An ultrasound probe will slide over your abdomen, producing an image. It is important to remain still so optimal images can be taken. You may be asked to hold your breath or roll on your side to obtain better images.
  • MesentericArteryUltrasound ResultsYou may hear your blood flowing while the sonographer acquires images.
  • After the test you may wipe off any excess gel and go home unless you have other scheduled tests.
  • A physician will interpret your test results. The doctor who ordered your test will then receive a report and discuss the results with you.

Test Time and Preparation

This test takes approximately one hour to complete. You should not eat, drink, smoke or chew gum ten hours prior to your test. Doing so may cause gas, and we may not be able to perform a complete exam. Avoid foods that make you gassy the day before the exam. You may take your medications, but please use as little water as possible.

Please remember to bring the order from your physician and a form of identification.
