Preparation For Ultrasound Scans
To prepare for an ultrasound scan, you may need to drink plenty of water before your scan so that you arrive with a full bladder. You might also be asked to avoid eating for a few hours, or steer clear of caffeine beforehand. You'll be provided with specific preparation instructions by your chosen scanning centre in advance of your scan.
The Procedure
During an ultrasound scan, you may need to adjust or remove clothing to expose the area being examined, or possibly change into a hospital gown. You'll lie on a couch or sit in a chair while a cool gel is applied to your skin. The gel helps the scanning probe glide smoothly and improves the image quality. Ultrasound works by emitting high-frequency sound waves and measuring how they are absorbed or echoed back by different tissues in your body. The sonographer will move the probe (called a transducer) over your skin, and watch as it generates images on a computer screen. They might ask you to move the position of the body part being scanned, especially for joint scans, so they can see how the joint is working. If you are experiencing pain in the area being scanned, the pressure from the probe may cause some discomfort. Let the sonographer know if this is the case. After the scan, you'll be able to resume your day as usual.
How Long Does It Take?
Ultrasound scans are quick, safe procedures. They usually take around 15-30 minutes to complete, but this can vary depending on the body area being scanned and the purpose of the scan.
When You Will Receive Results
It can take up to 7-10 working days for your ultrasound scan results to be delivered, but it is usually much quicker than this and varies site by site. After your scan, a radiologist writes a report of their findings, which our clinicians review before calling you to share the results. You'll receive your report after your post-scan consultation call.
