What is an Urinary System Ultrasound Scan?
A urinary system ultrasound, also known as a renal or urinary tract ultrasound, is a non-invasive imaging examination which is readily available. This uses high-frequency sound waves to create well detailed images of the kidneys, ureters, bladder and prostate. This procedure helps assess the size, shape, and location of these organs and can detect abnormalities such as kidney stones, tumours, cysts, kidney blockages and kidney parenchymal diseases. Ultrasound has also ability to indicate renal infection.

Why patients choose Sonorad
"Dr S I Mahmood is passionate, considerate and, most importantly, knowledgeable. I was completely at ease and was allotted a generous amount of time with him to really make sure I understood what was being said. Booked online less than 12 hrs before coming in, process easy peasy. I have previously used a woman in Harley Street for ultrasounds - NO LONGER. My scan today was the cheapest I could find in Berkshire, yet the consultant himself and the services he provides are unmatched in my experience. Literally zero wait time.
Thank you, doctor! – Alyss Prichard

I would recommend Sonorad to anyone in need of an ultrasound." - Adrienne Loftus Parkins

Urinary System Ultrasound Scan FAQs
What is Ultrasound?
Ultrasound imaging is a non-ionising and non-invasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. It is safe and painless. It produces pictures of the inside of the body using sound waves. Ultrasound imaging is also called sonography. It uses a small probe called a transducer and gel placed directly on the skin. High-frequency sound waves travel from the probe through the gel into the body. The probe collects the sounds that bounce back. A computer uses those sound waves to create an image. Ultrasound exams do not use radiation (No x-rays). Because ultrasound captures images in real-time, it can show the structure and motion of the body organs. Thanks to new additions microflow can detect minor inflammations. Ultrasound images of the musculoskeletal system provide pictures of muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, nerves and soft tissues throughout the body.

This scan helps to diagnose conditions like kidney stones, infections, tumours, cysts, or structural abnormalities.
Will the ultrasound detect all urinary system issues?
While ultrasound is a valuable diagnostic tool, it may not detect all conditions. Depending on the findings, additional tests may be recommended for a comprehensive evaluation.

Ultrasound imaging is considered safe and does not use ionizing radiation. There are no known risks associated with this procedure.

What to Expect During the Procedure
The ultrasound is a safe, painless, and non-invasive procedure that typically takes about 20- 30 minutes. A clear gel will be applied to the area being examined to facilitate sound wave transmission. A small handheld device called a transducer is then moved over the skin to capture images of your urinary tract organs. You may be advised during the procedure to have various but comfortable positions for better visualisation of the organs. You may be asked to have a full bladder during the scan to improve image quality.
Preparation for the Urinary System Scan
Preparation may vary depending on the specific area being examined. Generally, you may be advised to drink plenty of water before the appointment to ensure a full bladder, which provides better imaging of the bladder and surrounding structures such as the prostate. Specific instructions will be provided when you schedule your appointment.
Can I eat before a Urinary System Ultrasound Scan?
In most cases, you can eat and drink normally before a urinary system ultrasound. However, specific instructions will be provided based on the area being examined.
How long will a Urinary System Ultrasound scan take?
The procedure typically takes about 20-30 minutes, but this can vary depending on the specific area being examined.
