Upper Abdominal Scans

At our practice we will assess your liver size, shape, texture and look for any changes in terms of cysts, masses and fatty infiltration. We will scan your pancreas, spleen and gallbladder, searching for changes and calculi as well as free fluid. We would advise that no food is consumed at least 6 to 8 hours before the abdominal scans

Abdominal and Pelvic Scans

A scan of the abdomen and pelvis can help diagnose problems in the abdominal and pelvic structures.

Prostate Scan

Sometimes the prostate condition or other conditions prevent urinary bladder from emptying properly and can lead to recurrent infections within retained urine. Prostate scan will be done trans abdominally, with full bladder.

During the test we will assess the:

•  Size
• Shape

Once completed, we will provide you with a full report and images which you can take to your GP for further consultations if necessary.

Uterus and Ovaries Scan

A pelvic ultrasound is used to assess the uterus, ovaries and other pelvic structures. It is a commonly used test for conditions such as pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, menstrual problems, assessment of the endometrium, IUCD positioning and pelvic masses

During the test we will assess the:

• Size
• Shape
• Cysts
• Growths

Kidney and Bladder Scan

Kidneys are responsible for a wide range of high priority functions within your body- such as removing toxins, balancing fluids and producing urine. Using non-invasive ultrasound methods, we will make sure you are in perfect working order by checking the;

• Size
• Shape
• Outline
• Echogenicity (the ability to return the ultrasound echo) of both kidneys

This scan is usually done with a full bladder, so please drink 5 glasses of water 30 to 60 minutes before scan.

Breast Ultrasound

A breast ultrasound uses sound waves to make a picture of the tissues inside the breast. A breast ultrasound can show all areas of the breast, including the area closest to the chest wall, which is hard to study with a mammogram. Breast ultrasound does not use X-rays or other potentially harmful types of radiation.

A breast ultrasound is used to see whether a breast lumps is filled with fluid (a cyst) or if it is a solid lump. An ultrasound does not replace the need for a mammogram, but it is often used to check abnormal results from a mammogram
