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
"My ultrasound at Sonorad was one of the best medical experiences I’ve had. Dr Mahmood was very professional, kind and patient. He took the time to make sure I was comfortable and relaxed, and after the scan, that I completely understood the results. It was very easy to book online, the clinic answered my questions over the phone and i was able to get an appointment quite quickly. I would recommend Sonorad to anyone in need of an ultrasound." - Adrienne Loftus Parkins
"I recently booked an Ultrasound with Dr Mahmood online.to avoid the NHS waiting list. The booking process was very straightforward and I arranged a short notice appointment.
The atmosphere was professional, friendly and reassuring, making me feel comfortable. Dr Mahmood took the time to listen to my concerns and was very thorough, explaining and identifying issues and procedures.”
I would most certainly recommend this service and would use it again if required– Elizabeth D
Kidney Ultrasound Scan FAQs
What is a kidney Ultrasound?
A kidney ultrasound is a diagnostic imaging test that uses sound waves to produce real-time images of your kidneys and surrounding structures. It helps identify and monitor various conditions without the need for radiation.

Why Choose a Kidney Ultrasound?
Kidney ultrasounds are highly effective for:
- Detecting kidney stones.
- Helping to diagnose kidney infections.
- Identifying cysts, tumours, or other abnormalities.
- Monitoring chronic kidney conditions.
- Evaluating post-surgical recovery.
Ultrasound imaging does not use radiation, making it a safe imaging modality for patients of all ages, including childbearing and pregnant women.
Do I need to prepare for a kidney ultrasound?
Yes, preparation will include drinking water to fill your bladder and avoiding emptying it before the scan. We will provide pre-scan instructions when you book your appointment.
Is the procedure painful?
No, a kidney ultrasound is completely painless. As the transducer moves across your abdomen, you might feel slight pressure.
How long does the scan take?
The procedure usually takes about 20–30 minutes, including reception time.
When will I receive my results?
We typically send your results to you, your preferred clinician (if you provide the contact details), and your referring doctor within 24–48 hours. Urgent findings will be prioritised. We provide the results through a secure online portal.
Can I get a copy of my ultrasound scan images?
Yes, you can request ultrasound scan images for your record or for your care provider. Usually, you can make the request at the time of booking, incurring a minimal admin charge.
Can children have a kidney ultrasound?
Yes, kidney ultrasounds are safe and commonly performed on children to diagnose conditions like urinary tract infections (UTIs) or congenital abnormalities. At Sonorad we provide scans only to those 18 years and above.
Will I need further tests after my kidney ultrasound?
This depends on the results of the scan. Your doctor may recommend additional tests or follow-up imaging if they detect any indeterminate abnormalities.
Can a kidney ultrasound detect cancer?
While ultrasounds can identify abnormal masses or cysts, further diagnostic tests (like a biopsy or CT scan) may be required to confirm if these are cancerous. The consultant radiologist will advise further referral or tests if appropriate.
Do you perform urinary bladder scans with kidney ultrasounds?
Yes, we do kidney and bladder scans in one sitting with no extra fee. Please book the “lower abdominal scan” from the drop-down menu on our online booking page.

Can a patient currently undergoing kidney cancer book a scan?
Patients currently undergoing cancer treatment require monitoring scans as directed by their caring oncology team. In the best interest of such patients, we do not offer monitoring scans in these cases. We advise you to consult your oncology or care team for any monitoring imaging at their facility, instead of booking an appointment with Sonorad.
