This is a descriptive cross section study to assess patients affected with right

different ultrasound departments of Giad hospitals and medical diagnostic
centers carried out during the period from March to May 2017. The study
conducted on 100 patients suffering from right upper quadrant pain by routine
transabdominal ultrasound. The main objective of this study is to assess RUQ
pain in Sudanese population using ultrasonography. The study was classified

finding like fatty liver, liver cyst, portal hypertension and hepatitis. The study
found no significant difference between patients gender and gall bladder ultra
sound findings p = 0.019, also was no significant different between gender
and liver ultrasound findings p = 0.007.
