What does the scan involve?

The doctor will use the ultrasound probe with a water-based jelly to examine the lump and assess its characteristics of the lump. The scan will produce images of the inside of the lump which the doctor will interpret and use to give a diagnosis. The procedure is not painful.

Due to COVID working practices, you can bring one person to accompany you in the scanning room.

There will also be a qualified chaperone present in the scan room along with the doctor.

How do I prepare?

Please dress appropriately to allow for easy access to the body part/joint being examined with ultrasound.
