There is no essential preparation for this scan. 4-6 hours fasting is preferable. In email, patient full bladder is an advantage to rule out ovarian pathologies in female patients. Unfortunately, the appendicitis is an urgent ultrasound, and almost always, patients are not fast.
Our Ultrasound Specialists will explain the procedure before your scan. You will be guided to lie on your back on the examination couch.
A small amount of water-based gel will be applied to your abdomen.
Our specialist will move the probe on your skin to produce diagnostic ultrasound images. You will not feel any discomfort during your ultrasound scan.
An Appendicitis ultrasound scan is regularly completed within 20 minutes. Our Sonographer will recommend the best course of action, depending on the ultrasound scan findings.
You will receive your results verbally during the scan. We will ask you to attend A&E urgently if you have appendicitis. We also urgently inform your GP or your referral in writing and will give you a copy of your report.
If you do not have any evidence of appendicitis in your ultrasound scan, it doesn’t mean you do not need to have a follow-up. Ultrasound can only rule in the possibility of appendicitis. Ultrasound is not an excellent modality to rule out the possibility of appendicitis.
There are no risks or side effects associated with the Appendicitis ultrasound scan. Ultrasound does not use any radiation, which is why doctors prefer to use them to check on developing babies in pregnant women.
Urgent health conditions can happen at any time of the day or night. In London Private Ultrasound, we offer emergency abdominal ultrasound service late evenings, during weekends, Saturdays, or Sundays.
