Frequently Asked Questions
We understand that patients often have questions before their imaging appointment. Below are answers to some of the most common enquiries to help you feel informed, prepared and confident before your visit.
Is pregnancy ultrasound safe for both mother and baby?
Yes. When clinically required, X-rays are performed using low-dose digital technology. We take extra precautions to minimise radiation exposure and protect your child’s health.
Why might my doctor recommend multiple ultrasound scans?
Yes. Ultrasound uses sound waves rather than radiation and has no known harmful effects, making it a safe option for children of all ages.
Do pregnancy ultrasounds require any preparation?
Preparation depends on the type of examination. Your child should wear loose, comfortable clothing, and our team will provide specific instructions when you book the appointment.
Can ultrasound detect chromosomal abnormalities?
In most cases, a parent or guardian may remain with their child to provide comfort and reassurance during the examination.
Will I be able to see my baby during the scan?
Most examinations are quick and typically completed within 10–20 minutes, depending on the type of scan being performed.
