Women’s ultrasound screening • London & St Albans
Three focused ultrasound assessments in one visit: bilateral breast and axilla, pelvic, and thyroid and neck ultrasound — designed for women who want a broader structural health assessment without ionising radiation.
Direct answer
This PrivateSono package combines three commonly requested women’s ultrasound examinations in one coordinated visit: a bilateral breast and axilla scan, a pelvic scan, and a thyroid and neck scan.
It provides structural ultrasound assessment across the breasts and underarms, uterus and ovaries, and thyroid/neck. The aim is to identify visible abnormalities that may need reassurance, monitoring, further imaging, blood tests, biopsy or specialist review.
Package contents
Each component answers a different clinical question and has its own strengths and limitations.
High-resolution assessment of both breasts for ultrasound-visible cysts, solid lesions, focal changes and other abnormalities.
Breast ultrasound does not replace mammography when mammographic screening or diagnostic mammography is indicated.Assessment of visible axillary lymph nodes and other superficial findings in the underarm regions where clinically appropriate.
Assessment of uterine size and shape, fibroids, visible adenomyosis features, endometrial thickness and focal cavity abnormalities where seen.
Assessment of ovarian size, morphology, follicles, cysts or masses and the surrounding adnexal regions.
Assessment of thyroid size, echotexture, nodules, cystic changes and other structural abnormalities.
Ultrasound evaluates structure; thyroid blood tests evaluate hormone function.Review of relevant cervical lymph nodes and surrounding neck soft tissues, with Doppler used when clinically useful.
Why women book it
Before you arrive
A comfortably full bladder is usually needed for the transabdominal pelvic component. Follow the volume and timing instructions in your booking confirmation.
Breast, pelvic and thyroid/neck ultrasound normally do not require fasting unless your booking confirmation specifically states otherwise.
Separate top and bottoms can make access to the breast, lower abdomen and neck easier while maintaining privacy and dignity.
Bring prior ultrasound, mammography, MRI, biopsy, thyroid blood tests, pelvic reports or relevant specialist letters if available.
Your appointment
Your symptoms, menstrual history where relevant, breast/thyroid concerns and previous imaging are reviewed so each scan can be appropriately focused.
Both breasts and axillary regions are examined systematically with high-frequency ultrasound. Doppler may be added for selected findings.
The pelvic scan begins transabdominally with a full bladder. A transvaginal scan may be offered where clinically appropriate and only with your consent.
The thyroid gland and relevant neck structures are assessed, including nodules and lymph nodes where appropriate.
The main observations are explained and a written report is provided. Further tests or specialist referral can be recommended when indicated.
Clinical clarity
Excellent for characterising many palpable or ultrasound-visible breast findings, particularly cystic versus solid lesions, but not a substitute for mammographic screening or full triple assessment when indicated.
Strong for structural assessment of uterus, ovaries and endometrium. It cannot reliably exclude every cause of pelvic pain, subtle endometriosis or bowel-related disease.
Shows thyroid structure and nodule features. It cannot determine hormone function and cannot confirm cancer without appropriate cytology or histology when biopsy is indicated.

No GP referral is generally required for direct private booking. Bring any previous ultrasound, mammography, MRI, blood-test or specialist reports that may help comparison.
It assesses both breasts and the axillary regions for visible cysts, solid lesions, inflammatory change and other ultrasound-detectable abnormalities. Ultrasound does not replace age- and risk-appropriate mammography or specialist breast assessment when these are indicated.
Pelvic ultrasound assesses the uterus, endometrium, ovaries, adnexal regions, bladder and visible surrounding pelvic structures. A transvaginal scan may be offered when clinically appropriate and only with informed consent.
It assesses the thyroid gland for enlargement, nodules, cystic change and structural abnormalities, together with relevant neck lymph nodes and surrounding soft tissues. Ultrasound assesses structure rather than thyroid hormone function.
For the pelvic component you will usually need a comfortably full bladder for the transabdominal scan. Breast and thyroid ultrasound need no special preparation. Follow the specific instructions in your booking confirmation.
No. Ultrasound can identify many abnormalities and features that need further assessment, but it cannot rule out all breast, ovarian, uterine, thyroid or other cancers. Mammography, MRI, blood tests, biopsy or specialist review may be recommended when appropriate.
Yes, pelvic ultrasound can usually be performed during menstruation. The best cycle timing depends on the clinical question, so tell the practitioner the first day of your last menstrual period and the reason for the scan.
The practitioner can usually explain the main ultrasound observations at the appointment, with a formal written report and images provided according to the clinic’s reporting process.
