Beyond Pregnancy: The Power of Non-Obstetric Ultrasound Scans

When most people hear the word ultrasound, they immediately think of pregnancy scans and baby bumps. But the truth is, ultrasound technology goes far beyond obstetrics. At Chequers, we offer non-obstetric ultrasound scans that are just as vital for your health and wellbeing—providing accurate, non-invasive imaging for a wide range of medical conditions.

What are Non-Obstetric Ultrasounds?

Non-obstetric ultrasounds are diagnostic imaging tests that use sound waves to create pictures of the inside of your body—without any radiation. These scans are used to investigate pain, swelling, or abnormal blood tests and are commonly used for:

  • Abdominal scans (liver, kidneys, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen)
  • Pelvic scans (uterus, ovaries, bladder, prostate)
  • Thyroid and neck scans
  • Testicular and scrotal scans
  • Musculoskeletal scans (tendons, joints, soft tissue)
  • Vascular scans (DVT screening, carotid artery imaging)

Why choose Ultrasound?

  • Non-invasive and painless
  • No radiation exposure
  • Quick and efficient
  • Same-day results (in most cases)
  • Can detect early signs of disease

Whether you’re experiencing unexplained pain, bloating, or changes in your body, an ultrasound can be the first step in getting clear answers—fast.

Who should get one?

You might be referred by your GP or a specialist, but you can also self-refer in many cases. If you’re experiencing:

  • Abdominal discomfort
  • Irregular periods
  • Thyroid swelling or symptoms
  • Lumps or swelling in soft tissue
  • Leg swelling or pain (possible DVT)

…it might be time to consider a scan.
