Scan information

This scan is recommended for those with a history of stones, bladder issues or recurring urinary tract issues. Whilst completing the scan we carry out an overall wellbeing check on the kidneys, bladder, spleen and ureters. We look at the size, shape and condition of each organ carrying out measurements and visual observations. The scan has been created to help investigate persistent bladder issues including recurrent Urinary Tract Infections. We also check for an obstructions in the kidneys/bladder such as stones.
