Ultrasound Scan
Ultrasound uses sound waves to create images that help your doctor investigate a medical concern.
About Ultrasound Scan
An ultrasound scan uses sound waves to create pictures of structures inside the body. Gel is applied to the skin and a probe is moved over the area being examined. Your doctor recommends the type of scan that fits the clinical question.
Preparation varies, so ask whether you need a full bladder, fasting or other instructions. Bring previous scans and the referral if you have one. Your clinician will explain what the findings mean alongside your symptoms and other tests. Contact the hospital to confirm the scan arrangements before visiting.
