Why have a Private Ultrasound Scan?

Private ultrasound scan  (also known as medical ultrasound,  diagnostic sonography or ultrasonography) is a diagnostic imaging technique based on the application of ultrasound. It is used to create an image of internal body structures such as tendons, muscles, joints, blood vessels, and internal organs. Its aim is often to find a source of a disease or to exclude pathology. The practice of examining pregnant women using ultrasound is called obstetric ultrasound, and was an early development and application of clinical ultrasonography.

There are multiple reasons why our clients choose to book a private ultrasound scan in our private ultrasound clinic in London.

Some of our clients have been referred for an ultrasound scan from their GP to help in diagnosing reasons for their health complaints. The hospital scan times, however, can be long.

The ultrasound waiting times in the NHS can be as long as six weeks and sometimes more, depending on your local hospital. So almost a month and a half that you have to wait to find out what’s wrong with you. This can have a detrimental effect on yourself as it will increase & anxiety.

When you eventually have received your ultrasound scan appointment, you have limited choice regarding the date and time of your scan. Yes, you can call in and reschedule your ultrasound appointment but, in most cases, you will go back to the end of the queue, unless there are any cancellations.

Now contrast this with our ultrasound clinic in London where not only you can book the same day ultrasound scan appointment but you can choose the time and date to suit you. Your daily stress is further minimised by being able to book an evening and weekend appointment, so there is no need to get stressed about being able to have a day off for your ultrasound scan.

Some of our other clients prefer to skip their GP practice altogether (again because they have to wait for an appointment) and go ahead and book a private ultrasound.

Our pregnant clients are being offered only two scans during their pregnancy by the NHS. Pregnancy can be a stressful time, full of uncertainty and our pregnant couples choose to supplement their NHS baby scans with our private baby scans.

Daniela Stan is a London based NHS and Private Consultant Sonographer, with more than 20 years’ experience in Healthcare. She holds a degree from the University of Medicine and Pharmacy Carol Davilla, Bucharest, Romania and a Medical Doctor License in Family Medicine.

After graduating from the Medical School Program in 1997, Daniela became fascinated with the field of Diagnostic Imaging and accepted an invitation from one of the leading USA ultrasound institutes to enrol for a Diagnostic Medical Ultrasound Diploma, which she mastered in 2001. Seeking to expand her knowledge and skills, Daniela completed extensive formal ultrasound training and internships in the most renowned USA university hospitals and trauma centers in NY and NJ. Being exposed to diverse pathologies and a multitude of clinical scenarios, Daniela has built a solid core of medical knowledge and experience in her field of interest.

On obtaining the degree in Medical Ultrasound, Daniela was offered a teaching job position at the Institute to teach diagnostic ultrasound to postgraduate students, with concurrent appointments in university hospitals such as Robert Wood-Johnson Trauma Center. She worked closely with vascular surgeons and university medical professors, assisting them with ultrasound in the operating theatre on a broad range of interventional procedures.

Daniela relocated to England in 2011 to join the ultrasound team at Royal Free Hospital NHS Trust, where she performed and reported on the full range of ultrasound scans including Abdomen, Pelvis, Obstetrics, Small Parts, Breast, Vascular and Musculoskeletal in her capacity as Advanced Practitioner Sonographer.

Daniela obtained a Master’s in Medical Ultrasound from Bournemouth University in 2014, earning more than 180 credits in Musculoskeletal Ultrasound and MSK injections alone.

Daniela has been a member of ARDMS (American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonography) since 2003 and of APCA (Alliance of Physician Certification & Advancement) since 2015. Since her arrival in the UK in 2011, Daniela has been a member of SOR (Society of Radiographers) and BMUS (British Medical Ultrasound Society).
