Understanding ultrasound
Safe imaging, explained clearly
Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to produce real-time images of structures inside the body. It does not use ionising radiation. The type of examination and preparation depend on the area being assessed.
How does ultrasound scanning work?
A clinician applies gel and moves a handheld transducer over the relevant area. For some examinations, an internal probe may be recommended to obtain clearer images. The procedure will be explained and consent obtained beforehand.
What is the difference between external and internal ultrasound?
External ultrasound is performed over the skin. An internal examination, such as a transvaginal or transrectal scan, uses a specially designed probe and is only used when clinically appropriate and agreed with you.
How should I prepare?
Preparation varies. Some abdominal examinations may require fasting, while some pelvic examinations require a full or empty bladder. MSK and many soft-tissue examinations usually need little preparation. Follow the instructions provided with your appointment.
How will I receive my results?
The result pathway depends on the service. Your appointment confirmation should state whether feedback is given during the visit, when a written report is expected and how any recommended follow-up is handled.
