Body Scans, Lumps and Bumps
Ultrasound imaging is a valuable diagnostic tool for examining internal organs and investigating lumps or swellings close to the surface of the body. Booking a private ultrasound scan is quick and straightforward, allowing you to access answers about your health without long waiting times.
Ultrasound is non-invasive, widely used, and safe, producing live images that support accurate assessment and clinical decision-making.
There are many different ultrasound scans available depending on the area being examined. This guide focuses on how general body ultrasound scans are used to assess internal organs and investigate lumps and bumps around the body.
Not Sure Which Scan You Need?
What Can General Ultrasound Be Used For?
General body ultrasound scans and investigations of lumps and bumps are commonly used for a range of purposes, including assessing internal organs such as the liver, kidneys, pancreas, gallbladder, spleen, and reproductive organs. Ultrasound is also particularly helpful for examining lumps and swellings near the surface of the body, including those in the breast, thyroid, lymph nodes, and soft tissues.
Because ultrasound can clearly show the difference between fluid-filled areas, such as cysts, and solid tissue, it is useful in identifying whether a lump may require further investigation. Ultrasound can also detect abnormalities such as cysts, stones, inflammation, or masses within organs, and is often used to guide procedures like biopsies, fluid drainage, or injections with greater accuracy.
Why Might I Need an Ultrasound on a Lump?
If you discover a lump, an ultrasound scan is often a helpful first step in understanding what it may be. The scan can provide information about what the lump is made of, where it is located, and its size.
While an ultrasound alone does not usually provide a definitive diagnosis such as cancer, it plays an important role in guiding further care. Because ultrasound is safe, painless, and widely available, it helps healthcare professionals decide on the most appropriate next steps, which may include minor treatment such as draining a lump, further imaging like an MRI scan, a biopsy to examine tissue more closely, or referral to a specialist for additional assessment.
