Choosing safely

Not every symptom needs the same examination

The most suitable scan depends on the location of your symptoms and the clinical question. Contact the clinic if you are uncertain. Seek urgent medical care for severe, sudden or rapidly worsening symptoms rather than waiting for a routine private appointment.

Questions

Ultrasound scan FAQs

Which ultrasound scan should I choose?

Start with the service page that matches the location of your symptoms. If you remain unsure, contact the clinic before booking rather than selecting a scan based only on a search term.

Can ultrasound diagnose every condition?

No. Ultrasound is valuable for many soft-tissue and organ assessments, but it has limitations. The findings may need to be considered with your history, examination, blood tests or other imaging.

Will I need to prepare for the scan?

Preparation depends on the examination. Your chosen service page and booking confirmation should provide specific instructions.

What if the scan shows something unexpected?

The results pathway should explain whether you need review by your GP, a specialist or another appropriate healthcare professional.
