What a paediatric soft tissue ultrasound looks at

How to prepare and what to expect

No preparation is needed. A parent or guardian stays in the room throughout. It helps to explain to your child that the scan is painless — just cool gel and a smooth probe. Suitable for ages 6 and over. 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.
