Pain, bloating or something worrying you in your abdomen and pelvis deserves a clear answer. Our consultant radiologists look at the liver, gallbladder, kidneys, pancreas, spleen and pelvis, and explain what they find.
What we look for
Who reads your scan
Your report
Your consultant talks you through what the scan shows while you are still in the room.
A written report follows, usually within 24 hours. If anything needs a closer look, we can arrange MRI, CT, blood tests or a specialist referral.
Most abdominal scans need fasting for 4 to 6 hours, though water is fine. For a scan that includes the pelvis, arrive with a full bladder. See Preparing for your appointment for details.
Ultrasound uses sound waves, not radiation, and has no known side effects. A small amount of gel is applied to the skin and a handheld probe is moved gently over the area. You can return to your day straight afterwards.
No. You can book directly, and your consultant explains the findings during your appointment.
Tell us what you would like looked at and we will come back to you with times. You do not need a referral.
