If the scan shows changes, you can book a gynaecologist, cardiologist, gastroenterologist, urologist or another specialist at the clinic.

Ultrasound at home in Northport

MedCentre doctors can do an ultrasound scan in your home.

We use a modern portable scanner that gives a high-quality image and allows a full examination outside the clinic. Its imaging is on a par with our in-clinic equipment.

A home scan is a good option if:

• it is hard for the patient to get to the clinic;
• an elderly person needs a scan;
• mobility is limited;
• you prefer to be examined in the comfort of home.

The front desk will confirm the details when you book.

Preparing for your scan

Preparation depends on the type of scan:

• abdominal scan: on an empty stomach;

• pelvic scan: on day 5–7 of your cycle or as your doctor advises;

• urinary tract scan: with a full bladder.

The front desk will explain in advance how to prepare for your scan.

Contraindications

Ultrasound is a safe diagnostic method with no contraindications.
