- Kidney Ultrasound – Assesses the size, shape, and location of the kidneys to detect infections, tumours, cysts, abscesses, fluid collections, or obstructions.

Preparing Your Child for the Scan
- Clothing – Dress your child in comfortable, loose-fitting clothes that are easy to adjust or remove if necessary.
- Dietary Instructions – Depending on the area being examined, specific preparation may be required, such as fasting. Our team will provide detailed instructions when you schedule the appointment.
- Comfort Items – Bringing a favourite toy or blanket can help your child feel more at ease during the procedure.
What to Expect During the Scan
During the ultrasound, a consultant radiologist will apply a water-based gel to the area being examined and gently move a transducer over the skin. This process is painless and typically takes around 20 minutes. Parents or guardians are encouraged to stay with their child to provide comfort and reassurance.
Receiving Results
After the scan, our consultants will analyse the images and provide a detailed report. Results are typically discussed on the same day, and if further action is required, we will guide you through the next steps.

Does your child have persistent abdominal pain or tummy discomfort?
Abdominal ultrasound helps assess organs like the liver, kidneys, bladder and intestines to find causes of pain, swelling or digestive issues.
Is there swelling, a lump or bump you’re worried about?
Ultrasound of soft tissues and lumps can identify cysts, lymph node enlargement, abscesses or other abnormalities safely and painlessly.
Has your child’s scrotum or testes been painful, swollen or abnormal?
A paediatric testes/scrotum scan examines testicular health, checking for torsion, hydrocele, undescended testicles, hernias or masses.
Are there concerns about joints or mobility due to pain or swelling?
Joint ultrasound evaluates knee, ankle, wrist and other joints for inflammation, fluid, injury, or structural issues affecting activity and comfort.
Does your baby have neurological risk or need a head check?
Cranium or head ultrasound in infants assesses the brain and skull — especially useful before fontanelle closure for conditions like hydrocephalus or cysts.
Is there unexplained chest or respiratory discomfort?
Chest ultrasound (excluding heart imaging) can detect fluid, lung or chest wall issues without radiation, offering quick insight into respiratory concerns.
