If you're searching for a specialist Neck ultrasound in Leicester, I offer a complete and accurate service at The Health Suite.

As a Consultant Radiologist with 35 years of experience, I provide neck ultrasounds to investigate a wide range of conditions swiftly and with clarity. The most frequent request I receive is for thyroid ultrasound, though I also scan the parotid and submandibular glands, lymph nodes, and neck lumps, including parathyroid glands. Patients and referrers trust me, Dr D Kathuria, for private ultrasound in Leicester, knowing they benefit from same day results and scans carried out personally by a consultant.

A neck ultrasound is a reliable, non-invasive way to evaluate issues such as thyroid nodules, enabling me to distinguish benign fluid-filled cysts from solid lesions, and to assess for forms of thyroiditis. The test is commonly used to investigate unexplained lumps, to assess the size and appearance of lymph nodes, and to evaluate salivary gland tumours. This makes it an invaluable tool for GPs and specialists pursuing an accurate diagnosis for their patients.

Preparation for your Neck ultrasound

There's no special preparation needed for your neck ultrasound in Leicester with me, Dr D Kathuria. To make your scan as comfortable and efficient as possible, I recommend wearing clothing with a loose neckline so I can easily examine both sides of your neck thoroughly. No fasting or medication changes are usually required. The scan itself is painless and typically takes only 15–20 minutes. I strive to offer private appointments at short notice, so you can have your examination quickly and without unnecessary waiting times. I'm always happy to answer concerns or questions you may have before your appointment so you feel completely confident and reassured about the process.
