What a neck lymph node ultrasound looks at

This scan assesses the lymph nodes of the neck to tell reassuring nodes from those that need further tests. It is a safe, painless scan that uses sound waves — no radiation — and is interpreted by an experienced clinician who provides a clear written report.

This scan assesses the lymph nodes of the neck and helps tell reassuring, reactive nodes from those with features that need further tests. It is used for a persistent neck lump, glands that will not settle, or follow-up of known nodes. We assess each node's size, shape, internal structure and blood-flow pattern, which are the features that distinguish benign from suspicious nodes.

One flat fee. Every diagnostic ultrasound is the same price — we do not itemise or add a separate report fee. See our price list for the current fee.

How to prepare and what to expect

No preparation is needed. An open-necked top makes scanning the neck easier. The scan is quick, painless and involves gentle movement of the probe over the neck. Your scan takes around 15–30 minutes. During the scan a small amount of warm gel is applied and the probe is moved gently over the area. It is painless and there is no radiation. You will receive a doctor-led written report, usually the same day or shortly afterwards, with clear advice on any next steps. We are open 7 days a week, 9am–7pm, with same-day and walk-in appointments in Whitechapel, East London.

Neck Lymph Node Ultrasound — common questions

Should I worry about a lump in my neck?

Most neck lumps are benign, often reactive glands after an infection. Ultrasound assesses the features that matter and reassures in most cases, flagging the minority that need further tests.

How long should a swollen gland last before I get it scanned?

A gland that has not settled after a few weeks, is growing, or is hard and painless is worth assessing with ultrasound, which you can book directly without a referral.

How much does a neck lymph node ultrasound cost?

We charge one flat fee for any diagnostic ultrasound, with no itemising and no separate report fee. See our fees page for the current price.

Do I need a GP referral for a neck lymph node ultrasound?

No referral is needed for most scans — you can book directly. A small number of specialist scans are done on referral; we will tell you clearly if that applies.

How long does the scan take and when do I get results?

Most scans take 15–30 minutes and you receive a doctor-led written report, usually the same day or shortly afterwards.
