Abdominal Ultrasound in Shanghai Packages: Which Organs Are Named?
By MyChinaCheckup coordination team · Published
“Abdominal ultrasound” is not always the most detailed ultrasound entry in a package. Some Shanghai catalogues put five organs into one row; others list each organ separately. Renji East places kidneys in a separate row from liver, gallbladder, spleen and pancreas. Reading only the row containing “abdominal” or a single organ group would miss part of the published scope.
This guide compares 36 package tables in the 13 October snapshot across six Shanghai hospital listings, checked on 13 October 2026. Its purpose is to show which organs and pelvic examinations the catalogue actually names, without assuming that every abdominal scan includes every abdominal or pelvic structure.
What the organ matrix measures
The matrix records published labels. It does not rank packages by medical quality or establish that a listed organ can always be fully visualised in a particular person. It is based on MyChinaCheckup’s operator catalogue rather than independent confirmation of a hospital’s current protocol.
RadiologyInfo describes abdominal ultrasound as imaging structures in the upper abdomen. Its general explanation mentions organs and blood vessels that may be evaluated, but that general list must not be imported into a Shanghai package. For example, a catalogue row naming liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen and kidneys does not itself promise a separately specified abdominal-aorta examination or Doppler study.
The five-organ column below means that liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen and kidneys are each explicitly named somewhere in the reviewed ultrasound rows. Bladder and prostate are tracked separately. The final column preserves pelvic wording instead of assuming the exact organs or technique from a generic women’s package label.
Organ-by-package matrix
“Not explicitly named” means the reviewed table did not expressly identify that ultrasound target or examination. It is not a confirmed exclusion. Package links grouped in one row match only in the columns shown; other tests can differ.

The exact wording behind the compressed matrix
Scroll horizontally to see all columns.
| Source format | Published words and how they were read |
|---|---|
| One five-organ row | “Ultrasound: liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys.” All five are named in one entry. |
| Four-organ row plus kidneys | Renji East uses “Ultrasound: liver, gallbladder, spleen and pancreas” (B超（肝、胆、脾、胰）), plus “Ultrasound: kidneys” (B超(肾)). Both rows must be read. |
| Five individual ultrasound rows | Separate “Ultrasound: liver,” “Ultrasound: gallbladder,” “Ultrasound: spleen,” “Ultrasound: pancreas” and “Ultrasound: kidneys” entries, rather than one combined item. |
| Individual rows under Colour ultrasound | Ren’ai places “Liver,” “Gallbladder,” “Spleen,” “Pancreas” and “Both kidneys” under the Colour ultrasound heading. The heading supplies the modality; the isolated organ word would not. |
| Broad abdominal wording | Huashan Pudong Men 03 lists “Abdominal ultrasound,” without the five individual organ labels in its table. Women 03 lists “Abdominal Ultrasound” and also names the five organs individually. |
These formats explain why counting rows is misleading. Five organ rows can describe the same number of named organs as a single combined row. Conversely, a broad “Abdominal ultrasound” entry cannot be expanded into five confirmed organ labels just because another package spells them out.
Four findings worth checking before comparing packages
1. The Renji kidney row is easy to overlook
All six reviewed Renji East tables name kidneys separately. A comparison that copies only the liver/gallbladder/spleen/pancreas row would incorrectly leave kidneys unresolved. The matrix includes the separate row but does not add bladder imaging, which those reviewed ultrasound entries do not name.
2. Huashan Pudong Men 03 and Women 03 differ in specificity
Both use a broad abdominal-ultrasound label. Only the reviewed Women 03 table also spells out liver, gallbladder, spleen, pancreas and kidneys as individual ultrasound entries. This establishes a difference in published detail. It does not establish that Men 03 excludes any of those organs or that the two examinations are clinically different. Ask the provider to specify the Men 03 organ scope if it matters to a written request.
Huashan Pudong Men 02 lists prostate ultrasound but no explicit abdominal-organ ultrasound row in the reviewed table. A prostate entry should not be expanded into an abdominal study. The Women 02 table likewise does not supply an explicit abdominal-organ ultrasound row. Missing detail remains a question for confirmation.
3. Bladder wording is not implied by prostate wording
Huadong Men 01 expressly says “Ultrasound: prostate, bladder,” while its Men 02 and Men 03 entries say “Ultrasound: prostate.” Zhongshan Sheshan’s three men’s tables explicitly name both prostate and bladder. This is a wording difference, not evidence that a higher package number includes every row from another tier.
A general “prostate assessment,” a PSA blood test or a kidney-function panel is not counted as ultrasound. The matrix requires either an explicit ultrasound label or an unambiguous ultrasound section heading.
4. Pelvic entries need their own scope and consent discussion
RadiologyInfo’s pelvic-ultrasound guide describes pelvic imaging and different routes, including transabdominal and transvaginal examinations. An abdominal approach can therefore refer to the route of a pelvic examination; it is not proof of a liver or kidney scan.
Ren’ai’s “Uterus and adnexa” entry includes the Chinese wording 子宫、附件（未婚腹超、已婚阴超）, which the catalogue translates as transabdominal ultrasound if unmarried and transvaginal if married. Renji East’s transvaginal-colour-ultrasound rows also state that the source limits this item to married women. Huadong and Zhongshan Sheshan publish relationship-status-based conditions for certain pelvic rows. These are catalogue conditions to clarify with the provider, not a medical rule adopted by this guide. The clinical team should explain the proposed examination, individual suitability, alternatives and consent. Do not infer personal history or accept an intimate examination solely from a package category.
Renji East’s “Transvaginal colour ultrasound” row names a route and modality but does not enumerate every pelvic organ. The matrix preserves that wording rather than converting it into a guaranteed organ checklist. Unspecific “Ultrasound” rows elsewhere are also left unassigned.
From a named organ to a confirmed examination
For a clinician’s existing request, compare the organ, examination and any required route with the provider’s written plan. Ask which exact rows cover it and whether any part remains unspecified. Obtain the provider’s preparation instructions for that accepted examination, rather than applying a universal fasting or bladder-filling rule to every ultrasound entry.
A named organ is a scope label, not a guarantee of complete visualisation or a normal result. RadiologyInfo notes that gas and other factors can limit abdominal ultrasound. The clinician interpreting the study decides what the images show and whether any question remains unresolved. This article offers no result interpretation or recommendation for additional imaging.
For booking context, use the Shanghai check-up page. For a proposed examination outside the selected package, see Shanghai MRI, CT and ultrasound additions. MyChinaCheckup can coordinate a scope enquiry; the healthcare provider confirms suitability, availability and the medical plan. An enquiry does not reserve an appointment.
Source method: the three women’s and three men’s packages at each of the six named hospital listings were read as complete current HTML tables, including section headings and separate organ rows. The matrix is a dated catalogue comparison, not a hospital-verified service inventory. Sources checked 13 October 2026.
