USG Scans Available at Aurelia Diagnostic
We offer a range of ultrasound scans under one roof, alongside our other diagnostic and OPD services, so your entire care journey stays coordinated.
Abdominal USG
Examines the liver, gallbladder, spleen, pancreas, kidneys, and surrounding structures. Commonly used to assess pain, bloating, or abnormal liver function results.
Pelvic USG
Used to examine the uterus, ovaries, and bladder in women, and the prostate and bladder in men. Helpful in investigating pelvic pain, menstrual irregularities, or urinary concerns.
Obstetric (Pregnancy) USG
A safe, routine part of antenatal care. Used at various stages of pregnancy to monitor foetal growth, position, and development, and to check the placenta and amniotic fluid.
Thyroid and Neck USG
Evaluates the thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, lymph nodes, and blood vessels in the neck. Often requested alongside thyroid blood tests to provide a complete picture.
Small Parts and Soft Tissue USG
Detailed imaging of small structures such as the scrotal area, breast tissue, salivary glands, and superficial masses or lumps to help characterise abnormal findings.
KUB USG
Focused imaging of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. Especially useful for detecting kidney stones, obstructions, or abnormalities in the urinary tract.
All Scans Alongside Integrated Diagnostics and OPD
Because Aurelia Diagnostic offers blood tests, CT scans, X-rays, specialist OPD consultations, and an in-house pharmacy under the same roof, your USG results can be reviewed in context with your other investigations on the same day. This saves you time and gives your doctor a clearer, more complete picture of your health.
Preparing for Your USG Appointment
How you prepare for a USG scan depends on which part of the body is being examined. Our team will share clear instructions when you book your appointment, so there is no confusion on the day of your scan.
For an abdominal ultrasound, you may be asked to fast for a few hours before the scan. For a pelvic or pregnancy ultrasound, you may be asked to drink water and arrive with a full bladder, as this helps get clearer images. Some scans require no special preparation at all.
We recommend wearing comfortable, loose clothing and carrying your doctor's referral, any previous scan reports, and a valid ID when you visit us.
- Follow the fasting instructions given at the time of booking, if applicable
- Drink water as advised for pelvic or pregnancy scans to arrive with a full bladder
- Carry your doctor's prescription and any past scan reports, if available
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing for easy access to the scan area
- Reach a few minutes early to complete formalities without rush
