What is ultrasound?
High frequency sound waves reflect off the body to produce images of internal organs.
Some scans require special preparation beforehand but you’ll be informed of this prior to your appointment.
A gel is applied to the area and a probe producing sound waves is rubbed over the body. Some scans may be internal, but you’ll be informed of this.
The scans usually last 15–30 minutes. Results are usually sent to the doctor who referred you.
