Expert ultrasound examination of your liver, kidneys, gallbladder, pancreas, and other abdominal organs
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.
Comprehensive examination of all major abdominal organs
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.
Detailed check for gallstones, inflammation (cholecystitis), polyps, and wall thickening. Ideal if you have upper right abdominal pain, especially after eating fatty foods.
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.
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.
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.
Screening for aortic aneurysm (abnormal widening of the main artery). Particularly important for men over 65, smokers, and those with family history of aneurysms.
High-resolution ultrasound images captured from multiple angles. All significant findings documented with measurements and images included in your report.
Detailed written report within 24 hours including findings, measurements, and clinical recommendations. Can be sent directly to your GP or specialist.
Immediate discussion of findings with experienced sonographer. Follow-up consultations available if you need further explanation or guidance on next steps.
This scan is valuable for investigating symptoms or screening for organ problems
Persistent or unexplained pain in your upper or lower abdomen, especially if severe, recurring, or affecting your daily life.
Elevated liver enzymes (ALT, AST), abnormal kidney function (creatinine, eGFR), or other blood test results suggesting organ problems.
Yellowing of skin or eyes, dark urine, or pale stools suggesting liver or gallbladder issues requiring urgent assessment.
Persistent nausea, vomiting, bloating, or digestive discomfort. Upper abdominal pain after eating fatty meals may indicate gallbladder problems.
Blood in urine, pain when urinating, flank pain, or recurrent urinary tract infections requiring kidney assessment.
Significant unintentional weight loss with or without other symptoms warrants comprehensive organ 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.

All-inclusive Private Abdominal Scan
"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."
"Booked for general health screening as I'm over 60. The scan checked all my organs including my aorta and kidneys. Everything came back normal which is such a relief. Professional clinic, experienced staff, and quick turnaround on results. Peace of mind is priceless."
