Got an ultrasound booked?

Here is a quick guide on how to prepare so you get the most accurate results! 🧠👇

🍏 For Abdominal Scans (Liver, Gallbladder): You will usually need to fast (no food or drink except water) for 6 hours prior to ensure clear images.
👕 What to wear: Choose loose, comfortable clothing. Depending on the area being scanned (like a shoulder or knee), we may need easy access to the joint.

When you book with us, our friendly team will let you know exactly what’s required.

What is PAD and how is diagnosed with an ultrasound?

PAD, or peripheral artery disease, we perform these scans regularly for patients referred with leg pain during walking, since this is one of the clearest signs something may be affecting circulation rather than muscles or joints.

A bulk bill ultrasound vs a private scan, what do they cover?

With a valid referral, a bulk bill means you pay nothing out of pocket. On the other hand, a private ultrasound is one you pay in full, perhaps your referral doesn't meet the requirements for bulk billing, or it isn't covered by medicare.

If you have an upcoming ultrasound, knowing what you're entitled to can prepare for what it will cost you, if anything at all!

What is DVT and what does an ultrasound reveal?

DVT, or deep vein thrombosis, is a blood clot that forms in one of the deep veins, usually in the calf or thigh. It is diagnosed with a duplex ultrasound, a painless scan that uses sound waves to check blood flow and locate the clot.

We treat DVT ultrasounds as an urgent service, for more information read our latest blog. 👇
