FAQs
Ultrasound can assess organs, soft tissues, and blood vessels, helping detect abnormalities such as stones, cysts, lumps, inflammation, or changes in size and structure.
What can an ultrasound scan show?
1
Yes – Our sonographer is fully qualified, HCPC-registered professional with extensive NHS and private sector experience within hospitals such as Kingsmill, QMC, City Hospital Nottingham, Derby and Lincoln County Hospital.
Are your sonographers qualified?

Yes – ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive procedure with no known risks for adults when used appropriately for medical purposes, as supported by the British Medical Ultrasound Society (BMUS) and the NHS. Ultrasound uses no radiation, and is painless. A small amount of gel is applied to the skin, and a handheld probe is moved over the area to capture images.
Is ultrasound safe for adults?
