- Both kidneys
- Prostate gland when visible
The scan is performed by our qualified sonographer with extensive diagnostic scanning experience and aims to:
- Evaluate potential effects of urinary tract infections (UTIs)
- Identify obstructions caused by kidney or bladder stones
- Investigate possible causes of persistent bladder issues
- Assess prostate enlargement, particularly relevant for male individuals over 18 years of age
Your 20-minute appointment includes:
- Detailed report provided after the scan
- Email containing all images
- Medical follow-up recommendation if applicable
If further medical follow-up is recommended based on the scan results, we can facilitate communication with your healthcare provider at no extra cost, provided that you provide us with their contact details. This ensures seamless communication and continuity of care between our scan service and your healthcare provider, allowing for any necessary follow-up actions or treatments to be promptly addressed.
This scan is available to people over 18 years of age whose biological sex (assigned at birth) is male.
The scan will be performed transabdominally, therefore you need to attend with full bladder. Please drink 3-4 pints of water one hour before the scan appointment.
