Pyloric Stenosis Ultrasound

An abdomen ultrasound for pyloric stenosis uses high frequency sound waves to assess the stomach and small intestine. Please inform the sonographer performing your exam if your child has had surgery to this area.

HOW DO I PREPARE FOR MY EXAM?

  • Please call us at 1-306-569-9729 if you need to reschedule.
  • No food or drink for one hour before the exam. Bring a bottle with you.
  • Please arrive 15 minutes before your appointment to allow enough time to check in with reception.
  • Bring photo identification and your provincial health card.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING MY EXAM?

  • You may be asked to remove some of your baby’s clothes.
  • Your baby will be positioned face up on the exam table and a warm, non-scented, hypo-allergenic ultrasound gel will be applied to the abdomen.
  • The sonographer will move the transducer (probe) around the front and side of your baby’s abdomen and ribcage.
  • Your baby will be given a solution to drink equivalent to sugar-water, and more images will be taken. The pyloric muscle is evaluated as your baby drinks.
  • The technologist uses mild to moderate pressure while scanning your baby’s abdomen.
  • The radiologist will review the images and may come into the scan room after the exam to speak to you about the results. You will then be free to leave.

WHEN WILL I GET MY RESULTS?

We do our best to have our radiologists interpret the information and forward the results to your doctor by the next business day. Please consult with your doctor regarding your results and any follow up exams or questions.

HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?

This exam is covered under the Saskatchewan Health Care Plan. This exam is not offered in Alberta.
