Ultrasound is well established as a safe means of dating and monitoring pregnancy. We have experienced sonographers to image your pregnancy and demonstrate this on our large LED monitor.
Patient Preparation:
Ultrasound is recognised as first line imaging for upper abdominal problems, particularly gallbladder pain. It is also a good way of imaging the liver, kidneys and aorta.
Patient Preparation: nothing to eat or drink for four hours before scan.
Pelvic Ultrasound
The bladder and pelvic organs are optimally assessed with ultrasound. We use a full bladder as a “window” to gain ultrasonic access to the pelvis.
Patient Preparation: empty bladder 1 hour before appointment. Drink 1 litre water rapidly. Do not empty bladder until after ultrasound.
Neck and Small Parts Ultrasound
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.
