Start from the symptom, not the scan name
The commonest reason people call us is uncertainty about which examination answers their question. This is the short version — each links to a page explaining what that scan covers and what it cannot.
| What you are experiencing | Usually the right scan |
|---|---|
| Upper abdominal pain, pain after fatty food, abnormal liver blood tests | Abdominal ultrasound |
| A lump in the neck, difficulty swallowing, abnormal thyroid blood tests | Thyroid and neck ultrasound |
| Flank pain, urinary symptoms, suspected kidney stones | Kidneys, ureters and bladder |
| A lump or swelling anywhere on the body | Lumps and bumps ultrasound |
| A bulge in the groin or abdominal wall, worse on coughing | Hernia ultrasound |
| Pelvic pain, heavy or irregular bleeding, ovarian or uterine concerns | Pelvic ultrasound |
| Postmenopausal bleeding, or endometrial thickness follow-up | Endometrial thickness scan |
| Testicular lump, swelling or discomfort | Testicular ultrasound |
| Calf pain and swelling, suspected clot | DVT assessment |
| Stroke risk assessment, or a bruit heard by your doctor | Carotid artery scan |
| Joint, tendon or soft-tissue pain | Musculoskeletal scans |
| Pregnancy — reassurance, dating, growth or wellbeing | Pregnancy scans |
| A general check with no specific symptom | Well woman or well man |
Severe sudden pain, chest pain, breathlessness, heavy bleeding, a rapidly swelling limb or neck, or pain with fever and confusion warrant 999 or A&E now rather than a scan appointment. The NHS runs same-day assessment for exactly these and it is excellent. If your GP or a specialist has asked for an urgent scan, tell us when you book and we will prioritise your appointment.
What every booking includes
One fixed price
The fee shown at booking covers the examination, the interpretation and your written report with images. No hidden extras, no separate reporting charge.
An unhurried appointment
Thirty minutes for most scans, around an hour for the well-man and well-woman packages — time to scan properly and to answer your questions afterwards.
Answers before you leave
Your sonographer explains the findings during the scan, while you can still ask about them. No waiting days for a letter.
A report your GP can act on
Written in standard clinical terminology and emailed usually within two hours, so your GP or consultant can refer you on without repeating the imaging.
