Hello, it simply means that you had gas in your intestines during that time of ultrasound and hence visualization couldn't be done properly.

Bowels usually have gas within. Whether it is due to a disease such as blockage of the bowels, needs to be ascertained. If there is such blockage the diameter of the bowel will increase and your radiologist with include that in the report.
