Lymph Node Scan – £100
Why Choose This Scan?: A Lymph Node Scan at UKSONO Healthcare is an effective way to assess the health of your lymph nodes, which are a key part of your immune system. If you’ve noticed swelling or tenderness in your neck, underarms, or groin, this scan can help identify the cause—whether it’s due to infection, inflammation, or other underlying issues. Early detection is vital for preventing complications, and our expert sonographers provide a quick, non-invasive way to gain peace of mind.
What Does This Scan Assess?:
- Lymph Node Size and Health: This scan checks for any enlarged or abnormal lymph nodes, which can sometimes indicate an underlying condition such as infection, inflammation, or more serious concerns like cancer.
- Detecting Infections or Tumors: The scan also looks for signs of infections or tumors affecting the lymph nodes, helping to detect issues early and guide any necessary treatment or further tests.
What to Expect During the Scan?: The Lymph Node Scan is a quick and painless procedure, usually lasting between 10-15 minutes. Here’s what you can expect:
- Neck Ultrasound: While the scan is often performed on the neck, it may also be done on other areas like the armpits or groin if needed. A small amount of gel is applied to the area, and the ultrasound probe is gently moved over the skin to capture detailed images of the lymph nodes.
- Non-invasive and Comfortable: The scan is entirely non-invasive and does not require any needles or injections. You’ll be asked to relax while the sonographer takes the necessary images.
How to Prepare for the Scan:
- No Special Preparation Needed: There is no need for fasting or any other special preparation before your Lymph Node Scan. You can continue with your normal activities before the appointment.
