Description
An ultrasound scan is a safe, radiation-free imaging test that produces real-time images of your internal organs, offering a versatile and painless way to look inside the body.
About the Ultrasound Scan
Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create live images of soft tissues and organs such as the abdomen, pelvis, liver, kidneys and more. Because it uses no radiation, it is very safe and widely used to investigate a range of symptoms, assess organ health, and support routine screening. The specific area scanned depends on your needs, which our team will confirm when you book.
Preparation and turnaround
Preparation depends on the area being scanned — for example, some abdominal scans require fasting, while some pelvic scans require a full bladder; our team will give you clear instructions when you book. The scan itself is painless and takes around 15 to 30 minutes. Results are usually available within one working day, reviewed by a doctor.
