An ultrasound scan uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the inside of the body. These scans monitor pregnancy, diagnose conditions, and guide surgical procedures.
The scan uses a probe that emits sound waves. These waves create echoes by bouncing off tissues and organs. The echos convert into images which show instantly on the monitor.
For pelvic exams, you may need a full bladder. For other areas, you might be asked to refrain from eating or drinking beforehand. Check with your healthcare provider what you need to do ahead of your appointment.

After an ultrasound scan, you can resume your normal activities straight away. If you had a sedative, you need to rest, and you must not drive home. If possible, have someone stay with you for 24 hours.

After receiving your referral, we will contact you to arrange a suitable time and date for your scan.
Following the scheduling of your appointment, you will need to attend one of our clinics in Leeds or Sheffield for your scan.
After you have attended your appointment, a consultant will prepare a written report. This will be sent to your referring clinician 48 hours after your appointment.
If you require a copy of your report/images after discussion with your referrer, please contact us, and we can arrange this.
