What will an ultrasound scan actually tell me?

Patients come to us for private ultrasound for several different reasons. Some have been waiting months for an NHS scan and want answers sooner. Others have a specific concern, a lump, pain in a soft tissue area, or a suspected cyst, and want it investigated without waiting for a GP referral pathway to move.

Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to produce real-time images of soft tissue structures inside the body. It does not use radiation. It is particularly effective for imaging muscles, tendons, joints, the abdomen, the pelvis, the thyroid, lymph nodes and superficial lumps. It does not image bone or air-filled structures well, and it is not a replacement for other diagnostic imaging such as MRI or CT where those are clinically indicated.

What an ultrasound scan can tell you depends on the clinical question. At Changes Clinic, your scan is interpreted by a qualified sonographer, and the findings are explained to you at the appointment. You leave with a written report. If the scan identifies something that requires onward referral, we will tell you clearly and support you in accessing the appropriate next step.

About private ultrasound scanning at Changes Clinic

We offer a range of diagnostic musculoskeletal and soft tissue ultrasound scans at our CQC-registered clinic in Portsmouth. Appointments are typically available within a few days of enquiry, compared to multi-week NHS waiting times for non-urgent referrals.

Scans are performed by qualified sonographers and reported within your appointment. Each scan includes a written report that you can share with your GP or specialist.

Ultrasound scans performed by qualified sonographers

Our sonographers hold the appropriate qualifications and professional registrations for diagnostic ultrasound scanning in the UK. Scanning requires both technical competence and clinical interpretation skills. Accurate reporting depends on knowing what to look for in each anatomical area, how to position the probe to obtain diagnostic images, and how to recognise findings that need further investigation.

Changes Clinic operates from a CQC-registered facility at 1000 Lakeside, Cosham, Portsmouth. The clinical standards of a regulated healthcare setting apply to every scan we perform.

Full information about the scan types available and how to prepare for your appointment is on our ultrasound scan service page.

Very happy with my consultation. I got the answers I was hoping for and I will soon be booking myself in for a quick and easy mole/sun spot removal. I now have a new understanding of what the problem is and what has caused it. Thank you.

I’ve suffered with rosacea for several years and have tried all sorts of creams, skincare routines and products, but nothing really made a lasting difference. Looking after my skin and being mindful of my diet definitely helps to keep it under control, but IPL at Changes Clinic has made the biggest difference by far. The redness in my face has reduced so much, and even when I do get a flare up, it’s nowhere near as bad as it used to be because the underlying redness has improved so much. Everyone at Changes Clinic has been friendly, professional and really knowledgeable. They’ve always taken the time to answer any questions and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. I’d happily recommend Changes Clinic to anyone who suffers from rosacea and is thinking about IPL. It’s made a huge difference to my skin and has given me so much more confidence.

It’s the first time I’ve done something like this. What a lovely place & people. Very kind, polite & efficient. Very impressed with my procedure, obviously, it hasn’t healed yet, but will definitely be back for more treatment & also considering other treatments too. Well impressed and everything was explained as the treatment was carried out, pleasantly surprised, thank you so much for taking such good care of my skin. Lee B

I had PRP Hair Treatment, with Sumayiah, she is very friendly, she takes the time to explain the procedure and really makes sure to focus on target areas. I have had 2 treatments so far and I already see a difference in my hair density and texture. She can use a gun or syringe, the syringe goes deeper and achieves better results, so its worth asking for the syringe method. I combined my PRP with Calecim serum and that gives an even greater boost. So I recomend you sign up and ask for a booking with Sumaiyah, you'll be very happy that you did..

One of the best decisions I’ve made for my skin! The treatments are effective, safe, and handled by experienced professionals. I struggled with acne for years, and after visiting this clinic, I finally see clear and healthy skin. The staff always follows up after treatments, which shows how much they care about their clients’ progress. Their attention to detail and dedication to customer satisfaction is truly impressive. I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone who wants real results and excellent service.

Lovely relaxed atmosphere with great staff. My lazer hair removal was undertaken by two very capable proffessional young women Kelly and Surmaiyah. Both demonstrate constant care and ensure this not always comfortable experience is as pleasant as possible. The facility is immaculately clean and there is excellent visitor free parking available. I have no hesitation in recommending the clinic to others and whilst I can only comment on the treatments I have received to date I will be availing myself of some of the others services offered.

I am so glad I visited the Changes Clinic today for an upper abdominal ultrasound. I was a nervous wreck as I have a bit of a phobia of scans & Andrea was just brilliant with me. So reassuring, she went above & beyond with careful detailed descriptions, even went over some areas twice just for extra reassurance. I left smiling with a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. I have already recommended to a friend & highly recommend to anyone experiencing symptoms they’d like some extra peace of mind for. Was also really easy to book & communication excellent throughout. Thank you so much!!

I’ve been attending changes for facial hair removal for about 6 months now and I can honestly say it’s been one of the best and easiest experiences for me. Sumaiyah has been amazing through every step. From consultation to our current progress. She shows great professionalism, compassion, consideration -especially when I’m having a bad pain tolerance day- and is very meticulous in which the results are to show for it. Every appointment I get a little nervous and Sumaiyah has always put my nerves at ease and worked at a pace that suits me and my needs. I’m very thankful to work with her and be attending changes clinic. I would recommend their treatment. The staff are very welcoming. Adriana Verrier :) .

Chloe was very well informed and helpful. There was probably too much information to absorb in the time span, and more published literature would be helpful (FAQs, prices, offers, medical considerations etc)

Common questions

Is an ultrasound scan safe?
Diagnostic ultrasound does not use ionising radiation. It uses high-frequency sound waves, which have an excellent safety record across many decades of clinical use, including in obstetrics. There are no known risks associated with receiving a diagnostic ultrasound scan. The examination is non-invasive and typically painless, involving only the application of gel and a probe to the skin surface.
How is a private ultrasound scan different from waiting for an NHS scan?
An NHS ultrasound scan requires a GP referral, followed by a waiting period that can range from weeks to months depending on NHS capacity in your area and the urgency of the clinical need. A private scan at Changes Clinic requires no referral and is typically available within a few days of your enquiry. The quality of the imaging and the interpretation is equivalent, and the written report you receive is suitable for sharing with NHS clinicians.
Can an ultrasound scan be combined with other services at Changes Clinic?
Some patients book an ultrasound scan to investigate a lump or skin lesion they are also considering having removed at our clinic. If the scan indicates a lesion is benign and suitable for private removal, your clinician can discuss next steps in the same visit. We can also support onward referral if the scan findings require specialist input.
How far is Changes Clinic from Farnham?
Changes Clinic is at 1000 Lakeside, Cosham, Portsmouth. The drive from Farnham takes approximately 50 to 55 minutes via the A31 and M27. Free parking is available on site at the clinic when you arrive.
