This technique is commonly used to examine organs, tissues, and blood flow in real-time.

A qualified sonographer will guide you to the examination room, explain the procedure, and help you prepare. A clear gel is applied to the skin to ensure proper contact between the transducer and your body. The transducer is gently moved over the area being examined, producing images on a monitor in real-time. Once the scan is complete, the results will be reviewed by a radiologist who will prepare a detailed report for your doctor.
Please allow 24 to 48 hours for your report. If you have been instructed to return to your healthcare professional immediately following the scan, it is important to advise one of our staff members. If your exam is clinically urgent, this will be prioritised, and our team will communicate with our Radiologist to ensure a prompt report is provided.
