What Our Patients Say

What is a Medical Ultrasound?

Diagnostic medical ultrasound, or sonography, is a painless imaging technique that utilises sound waves to produce internal images of the body.
It is called ultrasound, as the sound frequency being used is in the region of 1 to 20MHz. The human ear can’t hear these frequencies.

The sound waves are produced by the transducer or the probe as most commonly known. As they travel through the body they bounce back to the transducer due to various sound transmissions differences in tissues.

The returning echoes are picked up by the probe and a powerful computer analyses the echoes and creates the 2d image on the screen.
There are various kinds of ultrasound scans that can be performed and each looks at different organs of the body such as tendons, muscles, joints, blood vessels, liver, kidneys, uterus and ovaries to confirm or exclude possible pathology.
Unlike CT and MRI, ultrasounds do not use radiation and is, therefore, pregnancy friendly.

What to Expect During Your Visit

Your Step-by-Step Guide to a Comfortable Ultrasound Experience

Booking Your Ultrasound Appointment

Your journey begins with a simple booking process. Choose between our convenient online booking system, available 24/7, or call our friendly reception team who can help find the perfect appointment time for you.

For our scans, no GP referral is needed – you can book directly with us.

Once confirmed, you'll receive an email with your appointment details and any preparation instructions specific to your scan type.

Preparing for Your Scan

Different ultrasound scans may require specific preparation to ensure the best possible images.

For abdominal scans, you might need to fast for a few hours or arrive with a full bladder for certain pelvic examinations.

Don't worry – we'll provide clear, detailed instructions when you book.

If you have any questions about preparation, our team is just a phone call away.

Arriving at Our Clinic

We recommend arriving 10-15 minutes before your appointment to complete any necessary paperwork.

Our  London clinic is easily accessible by public transport, with the Notting Hill tube stain just 3 mins away and multiple bus stops nearby.

When you arrive, our  team will welcome you and guide you through a brief registration process.

You'll then be invited to relax in our waiting area until your sonographer is ready.

Meeting Your Specialist

You'll be greeted by your sonographer or  radiologist, who will explain the procedure and answer any questions you might have.

All our specialists are not only technically excellent but also chosen for their approachable, compassionate manner.

They'll explain exactly what will happen during your scan and ensure you feel comfortable before proceeding.

During Your Scan

You'll be shown to a private scanning room where you may be asked to change into a gown depending on the type of scan. The room is designed for your comfort and privacy.

The sonographer will apply a special gel to the area being examined, which helps the ultrasound waves travel through your skin.

The ultrasound probe is then gently moved over the area, capturing images that appear on a screen.

Most scans take between 5-10 minutes and are completely painless. Throughout the procedure, your sonographer will ensure you're comfortable and may explain what they're seeing if appropriate.

Receiving Your Results

Unlike many healthcare experiences, there's no anxious waiting period for results.

In most cases, your sonographer or consultant radiologist will discuss the findings with you immediately after your scan.

You'll receive a comprehensive written report via email. For more complex cases, our consultant may take a short time to analyse the images thoroughly, but you'll still receive your results the same day.

Follow-Up Care

If your scan reveals something that requires further investigation or treatment, we'll discuss the next steps with you immediately.

Your images and report can be securely shared with  other healthcare providers at your request.

Our team remains available to answer any questions that may arise after your appointment.
