Soft Tissue Ultrasounds in Leicester

 

 

 

 

 

 

Soft tissue ultrasounds in Leicester are a vital diagnostic tool for identifying and managing a wide array of soft tissue concerns.

As a Consultant Radiologist with more than 35 years of experience, I provide specialist ultrasound imaging designed to investigate lumps, bumps, injuries and even detect foreign bodies under the skin. Many patients present with cystic lesions, such as ganglions or bursitis, and with this advanced imaging, I am able to confidently tell the difference between these and solid growths, such as lipomas. Ultrasound is also good for assessing more sinister solid lesions and guide further management.

Choosing a private ultrasound in Leicester through Dr D Kathuria means your scan is performed directly by a consultant, ensuring accuracy and expertise. Soft tissue ultrasounds also support accurate management for less clear findings. Most scans are available on the same day, so your concerns are addressed quickly and efficiently, reducing anxiety and unnecessary waiting. NHS referrals, GP referrals, and private individuals are all welcomed.

Preparation for scan

No special preparation is needed before your soft tissue ultrasound, making it an accessible and straightforward investigation. For your comfort, wear loose, comfortable clothing to allow easy access to the lump or area being assessed. Depending on the scan location, you might be asked to change into a hospital gown, which the clinic will provide. Please remove any jewellery that may be present at the site of the scan, which can be done upon arrival. At Dr D Kathuria, I ensure your experience is as comfortable and stress-free as possible while maintaining the highest standards of care and privacy throughout your appointment.
