What is an ultrasound scan?
Ultrasound uses soundwaves to create images of the inside of your body. It is a safe test as it does not use x-ray radiation.
Warm gel is applied and the ultrasound probe pressed on to the skin. Live images appear on the ultrasound machine screen which are interpreted by a specialist radiologist to provide you with a diagnosis and give you the answers to your symptoms.
An ultrasound is often the first-line test for numerous abdominal and pelvic symptoms, looking at the liver, gallbladder, kidneys, uterus and ovaries. It can also be used to assess joints, muscles, tendons and the groin region to. The high resolution and real-time images also make this the best test for the thyroid and testes.
