Lymph Node Ultrasound Scan

Price: £219

A lymph node ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive, and radiation-free imaging test used to assess swollen or abnormal lymph nodes in different parts of the body, such as the neck, armpit (axilla), or groin.

What Does It Evaluate?

✅ Lymph Node Enlargement – Detects swollen nodes caused by infections, inflammation, or other conditions.
✅ Size & Shape – Distinguishes between normal and abnormal lymph nodes.
✅ Benign vs. Suspicious Changes – Assesses borders, internal structure, and blood flow patterns that may indicate malignancy.
✅ Infections & Inflammation – Identifies reactive lymph nodes linked to bacterial or viral infections.
✅ Cancer Screening – Evaluates for lymphoma or spread (metastasis) from cancers such as breast, lung, or melanoma.
✅ Abscesses & Fluid Collections – Detects infected lymph nodes with pus or fluid buildup.
✅ Regional Assessment – Examines lymph nodes in the neck, armpit (axilla), or groin, depending on your symptoms.
