Important information
Ultrasound examinations are performed according to the clinical indication and the structures that can be assessed using ultrasound.
Certain organs or structures may not be fully visible due to individual anatomy, bowel gas or other technical limitations.
Some examinations require preparation, such as fasting or attending with a full bladder. Our team will provide the relevant instructions before your appointment.
Additional investigations or specialist assessment may be recommended depending on the findings.
A diagnostic ultrasound report will be provided following the examination.
