Other Ultrasounds
Musculoskeletal Ultrasound
No preparation is required.
Our state-of-the-art machine can assess fine details of the tendons, ligaments, muscles and some nerves looking for tears, swelling, inflamation and nodules or cyst.
Abdominal Ultrasound
Drink water only, no food for 6 hours prior. We will always try to schedule these studies in the morning so that you can have a late breakfast.
Abdominal examination is to assesses the liver, pancreas, gallbladder, spleen and kidneys. It is often the first examination performed when someone is having abdominal problems.
Pelvic Ultrasound
A full bladder is needed, drink 1 litre of water finished 1 hour prior to your appointment and do not go to the toilet before the scan.
The pelvic ultrasound assesses the uterus, ovaries and kidneys. Unless clinically inappropriate an internal (transvaginal scan) is considered best practice as part of the pelvic assessment.
Renal Ultrasound
No food for 4 hours prior. A full bladder is needed, drink 1 litre of water finished 1 hour prior to your appointment and do not go to the toilet before the scan.
A renal ultrasound assesses your bladder and kidneys. A full bladder hydrates the kidneys and allows us to see the bladder wall well and how well your bladder empties.
Small Parts Ultrasound
No preparation is required.
Ultrasound is very good at assessing the soft tissues of the breast, glands and testes.
Vascular Ultrasound
Our state-of-the-art machines assess blood flow in the arteries and veins, using Doppler ultrasound.
Useful for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or arterial narrowing.
Steroid Injections
A diagnostic scan is performed first to assess the suitability of this treatment for you.
Ultrasound is used to “guide” needles into parts of the body, such as tendons sheaths and bursae for a quick and accurate treatment.
ACC-Funded Scans Available
We are a registered ACC provider. If your scan is covered by ACC, there is no surcharge or out-of-pocket cost for your appointment.
