Abdominal Aorta scan
Commonly used to detect abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), which are bulging areas in the aorta that can be life-threatening if ruptured, as well as to monitor existing aneurysms or assess other aortic abnormalities such as narrowing or blockages. The procedure typically involves applying a gel to the abdomen and moving a small transducer over the skin to capture real-time images. It’s often recommended for individuals at higher risk, such as men over 65 who have smoked, or those with a family history of aortic issues, high blood pressure, or cardiovascular conditions. The scan is quick, effective, and provides essential information for early detection and timely intervention.
Kidney, Bladder & Urinary Tract
Evaluate conditions such as kidney stones, urinary tract infections, kidney infections, bladder abnormalities, urine retention, location of kidneys and hydronephrosis (swelling of the kidneys due to urine buildup). During the procedure, a gel is applied to the abdomen or lower back, and a small handheld device (transducer) is moved over the area to capture real-time images for individuals experiencing symptoms like pain during urination, blood in the urine, or unexplained abdominal or back pain.
Lumps and Bumps scan
Used to evaluate abnormal growths such as lipomas, cysts, abscesses, or tumors in areas like the breast, neck, arms, or abdomen. During the procedure, a gel is applied to the skin, and a small handheld device (transducer) is moved over the area to capture real-time images of the lump or bump. It is often recommended when a patient notices unexplained lumps or swelling, helping to determine whether they are benign or require further investigation or treatment.
Thyroid and parathyroid scans
Scan to examine conditions such as goiters, nodules, thyroid cancer, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, and parathyroid disorders. During the procedure, a gel is applied to the neck, and a small handheld device (transducer) is moved over the area to capture real-time images of the glands. The scan is painless, quick, and does not involve radiation, making it a safe and effective method for assessing thyroid and parathyroid health. It is typically recommended for individuals with symptoms like neck swelling, difficulty swallowing, unexplained weight changes, or abnormal thyroid function tests, providing valuable insights for diagnosis and treatment planning.
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) - one leg £150 or £250 for both legs
A deep vein thrombosis (DVT) ultrasound scan is a non-invasive test that uses sound waves to detect blood clots in the deep veins, most commonly in the legs, helping ensure prompt diagnosis and treatment.
Liver Scan
It is commonly used to assess the liver’s size, shape, and texture, and to detect conditions such as fatty liver, liver cysts, tumors, or signs of cirrhosis.
Soft tissue scan
Examines muscles, tendons, fat, and other soft tissues beneath the skin. It helps detect abnormalities like cysts, abscesses, or injuries in real time.
Face Scan
Examines soft tissue abnormalities, vascular structures, and filler placement
Neck scans
Commonly used to evaluate conditions such as enlarged lymph nodes, thyroid nodules, goiters, cysts, tumors, and vascular abnormalities like carotid artery blockages. During the procedure, a gel is applied to the skin, and a small handheld device (transducer) is moved over the neck to capture real-time images. It is typically recommended for individuals experiencing symptoms like a visible lump, swelling, or pain in the neck, providing valuable information for further evaluation and treatment.
Achilles Heel
Assess the Achilles tendon for inflammation, tears, or degeneration, helping diagnose the cause of heel and ankle pain.
Upper Abdomen Scan
Our Upper Abdomen Ultrasound offers a comprehensive examination of your abdominal organs. It carefully examines the kidneys, liver, gallbladder, spleen, biliary system, and pancreas, providing you with essential insights into their size, shape, and overall health.
If you’re experiencing abdominal pain, bloating, or discomfort, an upper abdomen scan can help identify any underlying issues. It might even spot an abdominal aortic aneurysm or any enlargement or damage to your upper body.
This scan is available for patients aged 18 and up. Please remember that you'll need to fast for at least 6 hours before your appointment, and only clear fluids are permitted. This helps your sonographer get the best possible images during your abdominal ultrasound.
Hepatobiliary scan
Scan to evaluate liver conditions, detect gallstones, identify bile duct blockages, and assess gallbladder inflammation or other abnormalities. During the procedure, a gel is applied to the abdomen, and a small handheld device (transducer) is moved over the area to capture real-time images of the organs. Often used for symptoms like unexplained abdominal pain, jaundice, or digestive issues. It provides valuable insights into the health of the liver and gallbladder, aiding in the diagnosis and management of various hepatobiliary conditions.
Salivary gland scans
This scan is often used to identify issues such as infections, blockages, stones (sialolithiasis), cysts, and tumors in the salivary glands. It is typically recommended for individuals experiencing symptoms like swelling, pain, dry mouth, or the presence of lumps in the mouth or jaw, helping to provide clear insights for diagnosis and treatment.
Hernia Scan
Examine an area of the body where a hernia is suspected, such as the abdomen, groin, or near surgical scars. It helps detect the presence of a hernia, determine its size, and identify the contents (such as fat or bowel) that may be protruding through the abdominal wall.
Groin Scan
Examine muscles, tendons, lymph nodes, and blood vessels in the groin area, helping identify the cause of pain, swelling, or suspected injury.
