Ultrasound - Abdominal
Ultrasounds are recognised as first line imaging for upper abdominal problems, particularly gall bladder pain. It is also a good way of imaging the liver, kidneys and aorta.
How can I prepare for my abdominal ultrasound scan?
Nothing to eat six hours before scan. Can have black tea/coffee and water.
Ultrasound - Neck, Sensitive and Small Parts
Like all structures close to the skin, the thyroid gland is imaged with excellent resolution by ultrasound. Other structures in the neck are also well shown. Ultrasound is also the best imaging technique for looking at hernias and at the testes.
How can I prepare for my neck ultrasound?
No specific preparation required.
Ultrasound - Musculoskeletal
Our radiologists are subspecialty trained in musculoskeletal imaging and are skilled in assessing the detailed images from the high frequency probes available on our GE LOGIQ S8 and E9 ultrasound machines to investigate soft tissue images thoroughly and provide the correct diagnoses.
Shoulders, fingers, wrists, ankles, hips – we can help.
