Do I Need an Ultrasound Scan?

An ultrasound scan is a safe and non-invasive way to create a detailed image of your internal organs and soft tissues. It helps us assess potential health concerns by providing a clearer picture of your body’s condition. If you're experiencing symptoms or discomfort, an ultrasound may be a helpful step in identifying any underlying issues.

Ultrasound scans are often used to examine:

• Abdominal and Pelvic Organs – to help diagnose conditions affecting the digestive or reproductive systems.
• Joints and Muscles – including the detection of:
  • Arthritis, effusions, and synovitis in joints
  • Inflammation in the hands and feet (such as from gout or rheumatoid arthritis)
  • Ligament sprains and tears
  • Muscle tears and haematoma (bruising) collections
  • Tendon tears, tendinopathy, and tenosynovitis (inflammation of the tendon sheath)
  • Soft tissue lumps and bumps like lipomas and ganglion cysts
  • Baker’s cyst (a fluid-filled sac behind the knee)
  • Foreign bodies, such as glass, metal, or wood

While many ultrasound referrals come from GPs, you can also access our private ultrasound scans without a referral.

If you think an ultrasound could be beneficial for your health, give us a call at 0121 769 0999 to discuss your symptoms and see if an ultrasound is the right choice for you. We’re here to help guide you toward the most appropriate care.

Pricing

Why Do Prices Vary?

• Scan with a Radiologist: A medical doctor specialising in interpreting medical images will perform your scan and give you a preliminary medical opinion on the spot. This is ideal for urgent situations or when a complex interpretation is required.
• Scan with a Sonographer: Capturing detailed images and preparing a report for your GP, who will review the findings with you. Ideal for routine scans where an immediate radiologist’s opinion isn’t required.

Understanding the difference between who performs your ultrasound can help guide your choice of care. See our table for a quick comparison:

What to Expect

Upon Arrival

Once you arrive, you will be invited into one of our private examination rooms. The sonographer will explain the examination being undertaken and gain informed consent before the scan. 

During Your Appointment 

To prepare for the exams, you may be asked to remove your clothing. You will then be asked to lie down or sit down comfortably on a couch with drapes to protect your dignity. The lights in the room will be dimmed before the examination begins so our sonographer can see the ultrasound image more clearly on the screen.

Images will be acquired during the examination, providing an accurate picture of the visualised anatomy. After completing the scan, a report of the findings will be created. You can then leave the clinic without delay.

Getting Your Results

Following your scan, you will receive your report in approximately one working day, and this will be emailed by one of our GPs with an interpretation and the next steps. If you have not had a consultation with us before your scan, we may ask for you to book in to discuss things further.  The high-resolution images will also be saved to your medical record for further consultations and procedures. 

Here are some body parts that we commonly assess:

• Upper Abdomen
• Abdominal aorta (exclude aneurysmal formation)
• Lower Abdomen (Male and Female Pelvis)
• Kidneys and Bladder
• Scrotum
• Hand
• Elbow
• Feet
• Shoulder 
• Knee
• Hip 
• Groin
