Kidneys and bladder
Check whether the referral requests urinary tract, renal or bladder ultrasound.
Which examination do you need?
“Renal”, “urinary tract” and “prostate” may refer to different requests. The full referral helps us arrange the correct scope.
Transabdominal prostate assessment
Prostate assessment depends on the request and differs from a transrectal examination.
Post-void residual
When requested, the bladder is assessed before and after urination.
BEFORE YOUR VISIT

A full bladder may be needed. Ask how to prepare and when to empty your bladder before attending. Fasting is not a universal ultrasound requirement.
