An ultrasound scan is a painless procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to create an image of part of the inside of the body.
A small device called an ultrasound probe is used, which gives off high-frequency sound waves. You can't hear these sound waves, but when they bounce off different parts of the body, they create "echoes" that are picked up by the probe and turned into a moving image.
This image is displayed on a monitor while the scan is carried out. Results are available straight away and will be presented by a doctor on the same appointment. In some cases, second opinion will be required. Ultrasound scans are very safe, and there are no known risks.
Before having some types of ultrasound scan, you may be asked to follow certain instructions to help improve the quality of the images produced. For example, you may be advised to avoid eating for several hours before the scan – this may be needed before a scan of your digestive system, including the liver and gallbladder.
