What Is a Private Health Scan?

Private health scans are medical imaging tests performed in a private clinic setting, where patients either self-fund or use private medical insurance. Unlike other diagnostic tools that rely on radiation, ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to produce real-time images of the body’s internal structures. This non-invasive method is ideal for detecting abnormalities, assessing organ function, and supporting general health evaluations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a GP referral to book a private health scan?

No, you don’t need a GP referral. However, a self-referral should not replace medical advice from your healthcare professional. We recommend contacting your GP, nurse, or other healthcare provider if you need medical consultation before booking a scan.

How do I know which health scan I need?

If you have symptoms and think you need a scan, visit the page related to the body part you're concerned about. This page will list the symptoms the scan is suitable for. If you’re unsure, feel free to contact us via live chat or phone. Alternatively, check with your GP before booking a scan.

Is there any risk involved with the scan?

No, the scan itself is safe with no known risks. However, certain factors like a high BMI or bowel gas may affect the results.

Can I bring a friend or relative with me?

Yes, you can bring up to two companions. For 4D/5D baby scans, the number of companions may vary.

Will the scan be painful?

No, the ultrasound is not painful. You will only feel the sensor on your skin. In some cases, mild pressure may be applied to the skin over an affected area to help identify the cause of symptoms.

How long will the scan take?

A scan typically lasts between 10 to 15 minutes, but it could take up to 20 minutes depending on how clear the organs are or how complex the scan is.

Are there any side effects from the scan?

No, there are no side effects from the scan.

What happens after the scan?

You will receive a verbal report of your results on the same day. Afterward, you can go home, return to work, or continue your usual activities, including eating or drinking if you had to fast or fill your bladder for the scan. A detailed written report will be sent to your email within 24-48 hours. We can also send it to your GP or another healthcare provider if you'd like.

What happens if any abnormalities are found during the scan?

If any issues are found, the sonographer or radiologist will advise whether you need follow-up scans or a referral to your GP or another healthcare professional for further evaluation.

When will I get my results?

You will receive a verbal summary of your results the same day. A detailed written report will be sent to you within 24-48 hours.

Can ultrasound scans detect cancer?

Ultrasound can detect masses or lumps that may be cancerous. If something suspicious is found, we will refer you for further tests like a CT scan or MRI. Additional tests, including blood tests or biopsies, may be needed to confirm if it’s cancer.
