What ultrasound is good for
Live imaging makes ultrasound excellent for soft tissue, tendons and joints in movement, abdominal and pelvic organs, thyroid and neck, testicular assessment, breast assessment (often alongside mammography where appropriate), and vascular questions. Because there is no radiation, it can be repeated safely.
What happens on the day
The sonographer or radiologist applies gel and moves a probe over the area while watching the images in real time. Most scans take 15 to 30 minutes. You leave with an idea of when the report will be ready; a consultant radiologist reports within a short turnaround.
