X-ray
An alternative to abdominal ultrasound can be an X-ray. This is also a quick and painless procedure that generates detailed images inside the abdomen. This would show any abnormal signs and check for possible complications of an umbilical hernia. Some people are worried that X-rays would be risky due to radiation exposure. So, if you are sensitive to radiation, make sure to consult your doctor before starting. In general, radiation from X-rays tends to be low and safe. [3]
