Understand exactly what your ultrasound report means — clearly explained, with expert radiologist support.
Receiving an ultrasound report filled with medical terms, measurements, and abbreviations can feel overwhelming. At Koshikaa, every scan comes with a detailed, clearly written report prepared by our expert radiologists — and our team is always available to walk you through your findings so you leave with complete clarity and confidence
An ultrasound report (also called a USG report or sonography report) is a structured written document prepared by a radiologist after carefully analyzing your scan images. It documents the size, shape, position, and appearance of each organ or tissue examined — and clearly states whether findings are normal or require further attention.
Every ultrasound report at Koshikaa follows a clear, standardized structure:
Basic details including your name, age, gender, date of scan, and the referring doctor’s name.
States why the scan was requested — for example, “abdominal pain”, “pregnancy monitoring”, or “evaluation of thyroid nodule”.
The most detailed section — describes what the radiologist observed in each organ or area examined:
Organ size, shape, echogenicity (texture on scan), and position
Any abnormalities such as cysts, stones, masses, or fluid
Measurements of structures in millimetres or centimetres
Blood flow patterns (if Colour Doppler was used)
💡 If an organ or area has no problems, the report may simply say “unremarkable” or “within normal limits” — this is a good sign.
The most important section — a summary of the key findings and the radiologist’s diagnostic opinion:
Lists the most significant findings in plain language
Provides a probable diagnosis or differential diagnoses
Recommends follow-up tests or clinical correlation if needed
Many patients find medical terminology confusing. Here is a plain-language guide to the most common terms you may see:
Understanding the difference helps reduce unnecessary anxiety:
Normal Results include:
Organs are of expected size, shape, and position
No evidence of fluid accumulation or swelling
Normal tissue density and echogenicity
Normal blood flow patterns on Doppler
No masses, cysts, or stones detected
Abnormal Results may indicate:
Enlarged or shrunken organs
Presence of cysts, stones, or masses
Abnormal fluid collections
Irregular blood flow patterns
Structural or developmental concernx
Important: An abnormal result does not always mean a serious condition. Many findings — like simple cysts or mild fatty liver — are common, manageable, and not dangerous. Always discuss your report with your doctor for proper clinical context.
This is one of the most common phrases in ultrasound reports — and one of the most misunderstood:
It simply means: “The radiologist’s findings should be interpreted together with your symptoms, medical history, and other test results by your treating doctor.”
It does not mean something is seriously wrong. It means that imaging alone is one piece of the diagnostic puzzle — your doctor combines it with your full clinical picture for a complete diagnosis.

It means normal — the radiologist examined that organ and found nothing of concern.
Not necessarily. It means the scan could not conclusively confirm or rule out an abnormality. Your doctor will likely recommend a follow-up scan or additional test for clarity.
You can understand basic terms using this guide, but always discuss the report with your doctor — findings must be interpreted in the context of your symptoms and medical history.
It means the ultrasound has detected something that needs higher-resolution imaging for a definitive diagnosis. This is a routine recommendation and not a cause for alarm.
Most reports are valid for 3–6 months for routine follow-up. For acute conditions or active monitoring, your doctor may request a repeat scan sooner.
Bone X-rays are essential for diagnosing fractures and assessing bone alignment, aiding doctors in developing treatment plans and monitoring healing progress. They provide detailed images of the skeletal system, helping identify abnormalities or injuries that may not be visible through other imaging techniques
