Ultrasound Services Offered

  • Full Abdominal Ultrasound

    Comprehensive assessment of all abdominal organs, including gastrointestinal tract, liver, spleen, pancreas, urinary tract, adrenal glands, reproductive organs, and regional lymph nodes.

  • Musculoskeletal Ultrasound

    Evaluation of soft tissue structures associated with the musculoskeletal system, including tendons, ligaments, and muscle groups.

  • Head, Neck, and Body Wall

    Targeted ultrasound of cervical structures, salivary glands, lymph nodes, thyroid, and superficial body wall masses or swellings.

  • Limb Evaluation

    Focused ultrasound of distal limbs for assessment of swellings, tendon injuries, or suspected foreign material.

  • Ultrasound-Guided Bone Sampling

    Includes guided aspiration or biopsy of bony lesions when indicated, in consultation with radiographic or advanced imaging findings.

Ultrasound-Guided Sampling

We offer a range of ultrasound-guided sampling procedures, performed with patient safety and diagnostic quality as top priorities:

Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA)

Ultrasound-guided FNA is available for intrathoracic, intra-abdominal, and peripheral tissues.

All FNAs are performed with care to minimise complications and maximise diagnostic yield.

  • Pre-procedure haematology with a manual platelet count are required to assess bleeding risk.

Tru-Cut Biopsy

Core needle (Tru-Cut) biopsies are available where appropriate.

These procedures must be discussed in advance to assess risk and patient suitability.

  • We recommend at least 8 hours of post-procedural monitoring, including a repeat ultrasound prior to discharge.

  • Pre-procedure tests required:

    • Full haematology with manual platelet count

    • Coagulation profile (PT/aPTT)

Sedation Guidelines

  • Sedation is strongly recommended for all non-cardiac ultrasound procedures.

  • This approach improves patient comfort and allows for optimal image quality and sampling accuracy.

  • Sedation protocols can be tailored to each case and discussed prior to scanning.
