Dr Yianni was very professional and attentive.
He asked a lot of questions about my symptoms and he took seriously all my concerns about them.
He explained me everything and reassured me.
I left with a big smile on my face.
Highly recommended!
5 stars are not enough!

I had been quite worried and did not want to wait to get an appointment through GP/hospital so I decided to book a full abdominal and pelvic scan.
When I arrived I felt immediately at ease when greeted by Cara who was very warm and friendly. I filled out the forms and was seen on time, maybe a little before.
I then went in and met Dr Tareq Ismail and again felt very relaxed, he explained everything and I felt completely comfortable. He spoke to me throughout, explaining what he could see and was very respectful and ensuring I was comfortable and at ease at all times. Thankfully all was ok on both scans and this was a great relief. I can highly recommend this for peace of mind, the money was worth it and had there been any issues I would have known quickly rather than wait weeks and weeks.
Even my son in the waiting room said how friendly they both were.
I am so glad I went there and am very grateful for such a professional and respectful experience with really kind people.
I will definitely be recommending them to everyone.
Thank you both so much!

What is an abdominal Ultrasound?
The abdominal ultrasound is an imaging examination to evaluate the organs within the upper abdominal viscera such as the liver, pancreas, gallbladder, kidneys and spleen and assist in the diagnosis of any disease. Ultrasound is also able to evaluate the blood flow in these organs using the colour Doppler technique.
Abdominal ultrasounds are very common and the main reasons for a referral are RUQ (right upper quadrant), epigastric or generalised abdominal pain. When this pain is associated with food, your doctor will want to exclude the presence of gallstones.
Reasons for having an abdominal ultrasound.
This private scan is performed to diagnose the reasons for:
- Abdominal pain
- Abdominal bloating
- Loin/kidney pain
- Abnormal liver function tests, fatty liver
- Abnormal renal function
- Follow up on previous findings such as cysts, gallstones, polyps, kidney stones
- Abnormal Blood Tests
- Tumours & Cancers
- Vomiting
- Discomfort
- Gallstones
- Fatty Liver
- Liver Cirrhosis
- Yellow Skin (Jaundice)
- Inflammation
- Polyps
- Cysts

What is the purpose of this abdominal ultrasound test?
The Liver and Upper Abdominal diagnostic ultrasound include the evaluation of:
- Liver
- Gallbladder
- Biliary system
- Pancreas
- Kidneys
- Spleen
- Organ blood flow using Doppler ultrasound
What is included?
- Diagnostic report with images and, if needed, a follow-up recommendation.
Preparation for the Abdominal Ultrasound:
For this examination, you are required to fast for at least 4 hours (if you are diabetic, you may have a sugary supplement if needed). Clear fluids, for example, water, are allowed.
What should I expect during the examination?
During the consultation, our sonographer will explain the examination procedure.
You will be asked to lie on your back and expose your upper abdomen.
A small amount of water-based gel will be applied to your skin. The gel will help the transducer to make good contact with the skin. The ultrasound transducer will be placed on the body and will be moved in different directions over the area of interest to obtain the required information/ultrasound images.
There is usually no discomfort from pressure as the transducer or probe as otherwise known, is pressed against the area being examined. However, if scanning is performed over an area of tenderness, you may feel pressure or minor discomfort from the transducer.
Once the imaging is completed, the clear gel will be wiped off your skin. Any portions that are not wiped off will dry quickly. The gel does not usually stain or discolour clothing.
This examination is usually completed within 10-20 minutes. You should be able to resume your normal activities immediately.

We believe that ultrasound scans in London should be affordable, and the cost should not be a limiting factor in your decision of getting a faster diagnosis and better treatment. You will therefore find the price of our imaging services surprisingly affordable.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Ultrasound
Diagnostic Medical ultrasound or medical sonography or sonogram or USG as otherwise known is a painless diagnostic imaging technique utilising 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, can’t hear these frequencies.
The ultrasound waves are produced by the transducer or the probe, as most commonly known. As the sound waves travel through the body, it bounces back to the transducer due to various sound transmissions differences in tissues. The returning ultrasound 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. Ultrasound scan examinations are live and ideal not only for musculoskeletal exams to evaluate moving joints, but also to see your baby moving.
Unlike CT and MRI, ultrasound scans do not use radiation and therefore are pregnancy-friendly. Ultrasound, therefore, is being used in all stages of pregnancy starting from as early as 5 weeks gestation age.
What are the benefits and risks of ultrasound scanning?
Benefits
- Ultrasounds are non-invasive.
- An ultrasound exam may be occasionally, temporarily uncomfortable, but it should not be painful.
- Ultrasound is widely available, easy to use and less expensive than other imaging modalities.
- Ultrasound is extremely safe and does not use any ionizing radiation.
- This imaging examination gives a clear picture of soft tissues such as the liver that do not show up well on x-rays.
Risks
- There are no known harmful effects on humans related to ultrasound scans.
What are the limitations of Ultrasound Imaging?
Ultrasound does not travel well in the bowel or gas, so abdominal organs such as the stomach and bowel or organs obscured by the bowel can not be fully evaluated with ultrasound.
It can also be hard to fully visualise the internal anatomy of large patients as the sound waves have further to travel, and therefore the returning echoes are weaker.
