transabdominal ultrasound - (pronounced) (TRANZ-from-DAH-mih-nul UL-truh-sown) A procedure for examining the organs in the abdomen. An ultrasound transducer (probe) is pressed firmly against the abdominal skin. High-energy sound waves from the transducer bounce off tissue, creating echoes. The echoes are sent to a computer, which creates an image called a sonogram. Also called abdominal ultrasound
