Ultrasound

An ultrasound, or sonogram, uses high-frequency sound waves to create an image of your internal body structures.

It is used to detect, diagnose, and monitor a variety of conditions. It is safe for use during pregnancy. 

Who we care for

We perform ultrasound scans for people who need investigation of: 

  • abdominal and pelvic organs
  • musculoskeletal and vascular systems
  • foetal development during pregnancy 

What you can expect

During an ultrasound the sonographer uses a small ultrasound probe, which emits high frequency sound waves, to create an internal image of a specific area of the body. This image is transmitted to a monitor.  

Our staff will inform you if you need to do anything before your scan. Preparation for scans could require fasting or attending your appointment with a full bladder.
