What is Neck Scan?
The neck scan provides detailed images of structures such as the salivary glands, lymph nodes, and blood vessels, helping diagnose causes of pain, swelling, or abnormalities.
What will this scan show?
A neck scan can show the size, shape, and structure of the thyroid gland, lymph nodes, salivary glands, and any lumps or swellings. It helps detect cysts, infections, enlarged nodes, tumors, or other abnormalities in the neck area.
What do we expect during this scan?
Preparation
No special preparation is needed. Please avoid wearing jewellery or high-neck clothing to allow easy access to the neck area.
Procedure
Gel is applied to the scan area, and the probe is used to scan. You may be asked to adjust your position, and gel will be cleaned off afterward.
How long it takes?
It typically takes between 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the type and complexity. Your clinician will inform you if additional time is needed.
Risk & Limitations
Ultrasound scans are safe and accurate, and non-invasive, but mild discomfort or anxiety may occur, and body habitus can affect image quality.

– For routine cases, you will receive your report via email within 24 hours.
– For urgent cases, the report will be provided within 12 hours, and with your consent, a referral to your GP can be made.
