About Ultrasound

At Insight Diagnostic Imaging, we understand the importance of trust and comfort in medical procedures. Our team of expert diagnostic sonographers is dedicated to delivering accurate imaging and ensuring you feel at ease during the entire exam process.

An ultrasound exam, or diagnostic sonography, uses safe, non-invasive and high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of the body’s internal structures, muscles, tendons and joints. These sound waves, which are beyond the range of human hearing, are directed into the body by an ultrasound technologist. The sound waves bounce back from the body which are used to create detailed images, providing valuable insights into various conditions in real-time for further analysis.

Preparation:

For certain exams (like abdominal or pelvic ultrasounds), you might need to fast for several hours or drink a specific amount of water to ensure clear digital imaging. Wear comfortable clothing, ideally a two-piece outfit, so you can easily access the area being examined. If you’re scheduled for a pelvic ultrasound, you may be asked to keep your bladder full by drinking water an hour before the exam.

What will happen during my Ultrasound?
Our sonographer in Springvale and Dandenong will explain the procedure. Gel is applied and the transducer glides over the area. You may feel light pressure, but the procedure is painless. This creates real-time digital imaging for accurate diagnosis.

Experience:

You’ll be asked to remain still or hold your breath for short periods to improve image quality.

Fees

We bulk bill the majority of our scans, ensuring that most patients incur no out-of-pocket costs. However, some ultrasound examinations may attract a small fee. For private patients who do not have a concession, ultrasound fees vary depending on the type of examination, with some being covered by bulk billing and others requiring a private fee.

Patients holding a valid healthcare card, concession card, or pension card will be fully bulk billed for all ultrasound services referred by their GP or specialist.
