General Scans
The primary aim and purpose of our General Health scans is to assess your area of concern with ultrasound imaging.
Available General Scans
Booking a private ultrasound scan with us can help in reducing your waiting times as a medical referral is not necessary. You can book the ultrasound scan which best suits your needs and at a time convenient to you. Where necessary, you can take the report that we produce to your GP or appropriate healthcare provider.
All our ultrasound scans are undertaken by a qualified and registered Diagnostic Radiographer Sonographer with many years of diagnostic scanning experience working within both the NHS and private healthcare setting.

This scan is designed to ultrasonically assess the size, shape, condition and outline of your upper abdominal organs amenable to ultrasound.
For a comprehensive abdominal scan, a 6 hour fast is necessary prior to this examination. Sips of water are permitted.
This scan includes a detailed assessment of:
• Liver
• Gallbladder and Biliary system
• Pancreas

After the scan you will have the opportunity to ask the Sonographer any questions you might have. We are not restricted by a short appointment time and this is to help ensure we can fully support you no matter the outcome of your scan.
