Why choose a private abdominal ultrasound?

An abdominal ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive scan that examines the solid organs in your abdomen including the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, and abdominal aorta. It's one of the most comprehensive diagnostic tools for investigating abdominal symptoms and screening for organ problems.

Unlike NHS waiting times which can be weeks or months, our private service offers same-day or next-day appointments. You'll receive expert assessment from experienced sonographers, detailed written reports within 24 hours, and direct access to follow-up consultations if needed.

Whether you're experiencing abdominal pain, have abnormal blood test results, need screening for kidney or liver conditions, or want peace of mind through preventive health screening, our abdominal ultrasound provides clear answers quickly.

What's included in your Abdominal Scan

Comprehensive examination of all major abdominal organs

🫀

Liver Assessment

Complete evaluation of liver size, texture, and appearance. Detects fatty liver disease, cirrhosis, cysts, masses, and other liver conditions. Can identify early signs of liver damage.

💚

Gallbladder Examination

Detailed check for gallstones, inflammation (cholecystitis), polyps, and wall thickening. Ideal if you have upper right abdominal pain, especially after eating fatty foods.

🩺

Kidney Evaluation

Both kidneys assessed for size, position, structure, and abnormalities. Detects kidney stones, cysts, hydronephrosis, masses, and signs of kidney disease. Essential for blood in urine or flank pain.

🥞

Pancreas Imaging

Examination of pancreas size, texture, and duct system. Helps diagnose pancreatitis, pancreatic cysts, and other pancreatic conditions. Important for upper abdominal pain and digestive issues.

🔴

Spleen Check

Assessment of spleen size and appearance. An enlarged spleen can indicate infection, blood disorders, or liver disease. Important for left upper abdominal fullness or pain.

💓

Abdominal Aorta

Screening for aortic aneurysm (abnormal widening of the main artery). Particularly important for men over 65, smokers, and those with family history of aneurysms.

📸

Detailed Imaging

High-resolution ultrasound images captured from multiple angles. All significant findings documented with measurements and images included in your report.

📋

Who should book an Abdominal Scan?

This scan is valuable for investigating symptoms or screening for organ problems

💢 Abdominal pain

Persistent or unexplained pain in your upper or lower abdomen, especially if severe, recurring, or affecting your daily life.

🩸 Abnormal blood tests

Elevated liver enzymes (ALT, AST), abnormal kidney function (creatinine, eGFR), or other blood test results suggesting organ problems.

🟡 Jaundice symptoms

Yellowing of skin or eyes, dark urine, or pale stools suggesting liver or gallbladder issues requiring urgent assessment.

🍽️ Digestive issues

Persistent nausea, vomiting, bloating, or digestive discomfort. Upper abdominal pain after eating fatty meals may indicate gallbladder problems.

💧 Urinary symptoms

Blood in urine, pain when urinating, flank pain, or recurrent urinary tract infections requiring kidney assessment.

📉 Unexplained weight loss

Significant unintentional weight loss with or without other symptoms warrants comprehensive organ screening.

🩺 Health screening

Preventive screening for liver health, kidney function, or aortic aneurysm, especially if you have risk factors like diabetes, high blood pressure, or family history.

Follow-up scans for previously identified cysts, fatty liver, kidney stones, or other conditions requiring periodic monitoring.

"I had persistent upper abdominal pain and my GP said the NHS wait was 8 weeks. Booked with Sonoworld and had my scan the next day. The sonographer found gallstones and explained everything clearly. Got my detailed report within 24 hours. Excellent service and well worth the cost."

"Had elevated liver enzymes on my blood test and was very worried. The abdominal scan showed mild fatty liver but no serious problems. The sonographer was reassuring and gave me lifestyle advice. The report was very thorough and my GP was impressed with the quality. Highly recommend."

Frequently asked questions

What does an abdominal ultrasound scan check? +
An abdominal ultrasound examines the solid organs in your abdomen including the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, and abdominal aorta. It can detect gallstones, kidney stones, liver disease, enlarged organs, fluid collections, cysts, tumours, and blood vessel problems. It's commonly used to investigate abdominal pain, digestive issues, jaundice, and kidney problems.
Do I need to prepare for an abdominal scan? +
Yes, you need to fast for 6 hours before your abdominal ultrasound scan. This means no food or drinks except water. Fasting helps us get clear images of your gallbladder and other organs. You can take regular medications with water. If you're diabetic or have special dietary requirements, please let us know when booking.
How long does an abdominal scan take? +
A comprehensive abdominal ultrasound scan takes 20-30 minutes. This includes time for the sonographer to examine all the abdominal organs thoroughly and capture detailed images. The actual scanning time may vary depending on your body habitus and the complexity of findings.
Is an abdominal ultrasound painful? +
No, an abdominal ultrasound is completely painless and non-invasive. You may feel slight pressure as the sonographer moves the probe across your abdomen, but this is not painful. If you have abdominal tenderness, please let the sonographer know and they'll be as gentle as possible.
When will I get my results? +
You'll receive a detailed written report within 24 hours of your scan. The report includes findings, measurements, and clinical recommendations. We can send the report directly to your GP or referring consultant if requested. If any urgent concerns are identified during your scan, we'll discuss them with you immediately and arrange appropriate follow-up.
What symptoms might need an abdominal scan? +
Common reasons for an abdominal scan include: persistent or severe abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss, jaundice (yellowing of skin or eyes), digestive problems, blood in urine, abnormal liver function tests, suspected gallstones or kidney stones, enlarged liver or spleen detected by examination, monitoring of known conditions, or as a health screening tool.
Can an abdominal scan detect cancer? +
Ultrasound can detect masses, tumours, and abnormal growths in abdominal organs. However, ultrasound alone cannot definitively diagnose cancer – further tests such as CT, MRI, or biopsy may be needed. If we identify any concerning findings, we'll provide clear recommendations for follow-up investigations and liaise with your doctor.
Do I need a referral from my GP? +
No, you do not need a GP referral to book a private abdominal scan at Sonoworld. You can self-refer and book directly online or by phone. However, we do recommend informing your GP about your scan results so they can be included in your medical records and coordinate any necessary follow-up care.
What's the difference between abdominal and pelvic ultrasound? +
An abdominal ultrasound focuses on the upper abdomen organs (liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, aorta). A pelvic ultrasound examines the lower abdomen and pelvic organs (bladder, uterus, ovaries, prostate). If you need both areas examined, we offer a combined abdominal and pelvic scan.
How much does a private abdominal scan cost? +
Our private abdominal ultrasound scan costs £199 and includes the comprehensive examination, detailed written report within 24 hours, and follow-up consultation if needed. There are no hidden fees. Same-day and next-day appointments are often available. View all our scan prices.
