Methodology: A quantitative prospective study wasperformed to assess the role of ultrasonography in abdominal pain in male patients whoundergoes abdominal ultrasonography in the radiology department of BSM MedicalUniversity Dhaka, Bangladesh from February 2023 to March 2024. 90 male patientswere selected according to the inclusion criteria of this study. Patients will be signing aconsent before the investigation. History was taken from patients prior to investigation.Abdominal ultrasound was performed. Result: Out of 90 male patients, out of which 21(23.3%) patients have fatty liver, 12 (13.3%) patients have right renal calculus, 9(10%)patient have left renal calculus, 3(3.3%)patient have B/L renal calculus, 5 (5.5%)patients have acute pancreatitis, 3 (3.3%) patients have acute appendicitis, 2 (2.2%)patients have liver abscess, 7 (7.7%) patients have cyst, 7 (7.7%) patients have ascites,19 (21.1%) patients have cholelithiasis and 1 (1.1%) patient have normal.

This study has shown a relatively high sensitivity, specificity and diagnosticaccuracy of USG in cases of acute abdomen in a careful hand. USG is currentlyconsidered the preferred initial imaging technique for patients who are clinicallysuspected of having fatty liver, renal calculus, acute pancreatitis, acute appendicitis,ascites, cyst, liver abscess and cholelithiasis etc.
