If you need a medical ultrasound scan, skip the NHS waiting list and book a private ultrasound scan with a qualified radiographer or sonographers at one of our private clinics or hospital diagnostic centre. You can self-fund or use your private health insurance.
What is an ultrasound scan?
Ultrasound imaging (sonography) is a non-invasive technique used to take pictures of your internal organs in order to help diagnose the symptoms you have been experiencing. No x-rays or any type of ionising radiation is involved and for this reason, it is considered very safe.
The technology is also used during pregnancy; more information about this can be found on our pregnancy ultrasound page.
Why is ultrasound imaging helpful?
By using ultrasound technology, your sonographer will be able to focus their attention on specific areas of your body and have a look at what’s going on. Many people are referred for ultrasound scans by their GP, but this isn’t a necessary step if you are looking for a quick assessment for your symptoms, to ease your mind.
However, you might like to book a consultation with one of our private GPs who will be able to advise you about different types of scans and how they may be beneficial for your own diagnosis.
What does a Doppler ultrasound scan show?
A Doppler ultrasound scan assesses the amount of blood flowing through blood vessels in the arteries and veins in the legs. A Doppler ultrasound, combined with a regular ultrasound, takes images of the lower limbs to enable doctors to evaluate how well the blood is circulating and to look for the presence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) clots.
This type of scanning is used when a DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) is suspected. A DVT occurs when a large clot forms in a vein in the leg, restricting or stopping blood flow. If you have been experiencing pain or swelling of the calves or ankles then you can request a Doppler ultrasound scan to diagnose or rule out a DVT.
A Doppler ultrasound scan can also assess blood flow through the arteries in the legs, to look for areas of atherosclerosis, which is when fatty substances cause arteries to narrow. Atherosclerosis can cause Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD), which can cause leg pain as the blood supply to the legs is restricted. A Doppler scan can also evaluates the effect of arterial grafts.

What our patients say
" "It has been just over two weeks since my breast uplift and tummy liposuction. I am so pleased with my results already! Mr El Gawad is fantastic, a lovely and caring person. He made me feel so at ease from the moment I met him, a true professional. Mr El Gawad genuinely cares for each and every one of his patients, his aftercare is exceptional. I was amazed that he called me directly the next day to check up on me and kept in contact to make sure I was OK. I was able to ring or text him if I had any questions or needed advice etc. He really does go the extra mile. I simply cannot thank and recommended him enough! I would not hesitate to go back to Mr El Gawad for any future plastic surgery. I am so excited to see my final results once I have healed, thank you so much! I found all the staff at the clinic very friendly and caring. My private room was great, as were the nurses who were very professional. They made me feel very comfortable and relaxed, especially Maxine who was excellent. She even gave me her number to ring or text with any further questions or advice for when I was home. All the staff were fantastic, I had nurses popping in every 15 minutes to check that I was OK. The anesthetist was really lovely she came in to check on me before she was leaving and made me feel so comfortable as I was very nervous before going into theater. I honestly could not have asked for more. I highly recommend Mr El Gawad and his team at Pall Mall, you will not be disappointed.""
