What Is Ultrasound?
Ultrasound, or sonography, is a non-invasive technology that assesses organs and soft tissues without having to conduct a surgery.
A hand-held probe called a transducer is placed on the specific body part during the scan. The other end of the device connects to the machine, and then high-frequency sound waves are sent to analyse the area. These waves create echoes that bounce back in the form of images. When captured through multiple directions, the formed images can exhibit a range of medical conditions.
Ultrasound in Preston
Ultrasound is one of the safest diagnostic imaging tests available and helps doctors identify a wide range of medical conditions.
At our local Prestons radiology clinic, ultrasound provides valuable diagnostic information for pregnancy care, musculoskeletal conditions, and assessments of the breast, thyroid, abdominal, and pelvic organs. Clinicians also use ultrasound to guide biopsies with precision.
Doctors frequently rely on ultrasound guidance for pain-relief injections, as it improves accuracy and treatment effectiveness. Using ultrasound during medical procedures also helps reduce the risk of complications.
Obstetric Ultrasound in Prestons
Obstetric ultrasound provides clear images of the unborn baby and helps doctors:
- Confirm Viability
- Accurately Measure Growth, and
- Check for Developmental Concerns
The scan also allows clinicians to assess maternal factors such as placental development and amniotic fluid levels. In many cases, ultrasound can determine the baby’s gender, estimate gestational age and expected delivery date.
At Carescan, we offer 3D and 4D ultrasounds. These give you a special opportunity to see your baby’s facial features and movements in real time. From their yawnings to gentle kicks, you can see and treasure them all in a USB drive provided from the centre.

Musculoskeletal Ultrasound in Prestons
Musculoskeletal ultrasound examines joints and soft tissue structures throughout the body. Clinicians commonly assess the shoulder, wrist, elbow, fingers, hips, knee joints, ankle, carpal tunnel, trochanteric bursa, and the small joints of the feet. The scan also evaluates superficial muscles and tendons.
Once the scan identifies a specific condition, Carescan often supports treatment through ultrasound-guided pain management procedures. These may include corticosteroid injections, dry needling, or platelet-rich plasma injections. Our team also performs ultrasound-guided drainage of Baker’s cysts, ganglions, and blood collections when required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there any preparation required before taking an ultrasound? →
Some types of ultrasound examinations require preparation. An abdominal ultrasound usually requires about six hours of fasting, while a pelvic ultrasound needs a full bladder for clear imaging.
Most other ultrasounds, including musculoskeletal, neck, vascular, soft tissue, and breast scans, do not require any special preparation.
What are the risks involved in an ultrasound? →
Ultrasounds are safe imaging tests. They do not use radiation and therefore do not carry the same risks as X-rays or CT scans.
At Carescan, your local radiology clinic near Prestons, our radiologists closely supervise all ultrasound examinations. We work in collaboration with both the referrer and the patient to deliver a high-standard ultrasound experience, with clear images and accurate reports that support confident clinical decisions.
