Ultrasound

Ultrasound scanning uses high frequency sound waves to form an image of whatever part of the body is being scanned. It is a quick out-patient scan that is the first line of investigation for many conditions particularly in the abdomen. It is a very safe method of imaging that does not involve any radiation exposure, hence its use in pregnancy. When attending for an abdominal scan you may be asked to fast for a few hours or to fill your bladder depending on the purpose of the scan. You will of course receive full instructions beforehand.
Doppler or duplex ultrasound scanning is a form of ultrasound scanning used to examine arteries and veins and is often performed before some of the interventional radiology procedures like angioplasty and stenting. The radiologist scans the vessel using a small hand-held probe placed on the skin surface using a water based gel as a contact agent. The images are displayed on a monitor and detailed measurements of the vessel and rate of flow of the blood within it can be made to assess any narrowing or blockage present.
Ultrasound scanning can be used as a quick screening examination for conditions such as abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and is also the examination of choice for testicular or scrotal swellings.
We can offer ultrasound scanning at all practice locations.

Thank you for your kindness and understanding during this difficult period of my life. I am truly grateful for the treatment I have received and thankful I am in such safe hands.

I was terrified of the invasiveness of the procedure and being awake but your gentleness and skill meant I felt nothing. I saw my consultant yesterday and she agreed that a fine job had been done. I am so grateful.

I found Dr Harding’s manner during the consultation to be informative and reassuring. He asked me lots of questions but also answered my questions clearly explaining the MRI images to me and giving me the confidence to proceed with the fibroid embolization procedure. During the procedure, Dr Harding and his team put me at ease, so much so that I nearly fell asleep.
