Mandatory medical device diagnostics.
- Abdominal ultrasonography (ultrasound examination of the abdominal organs) – for basic diagnosis.
Optional medical device diagnostics – depending on the results of the history, physical examination, laboratory diagnostics and obligatory medical device diagnostics – for differential diagnostic clarification.
- Computed tomography (CT; cross-sectional imaging procedure (radiographs taken from different directions with computer-based evaluation)) of the abdomen/thorax (abdominal CT/thoracic CT) – if sonography/X-ray questions require further investigation
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI; computer-assisted cross-sectional imaging method (using magnetic fields, that is, without X-rays) of the abdomen/thorax (abdominal MRI/thoracic MRI) – if sonography/X-ray questions require further investigation.
