Urinary Tract & Prostate Ultrasound Scan
A Urinary Tract & Prostate Ultrasound Scan is a safe, non-invasive imaging test that helps assess the kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra, and prostate gland. This scan provides valuable information for routine health check-ups and for men experiencing urinary or prostate concerns.
It can identify kidney stones, urinary tract irregularities, and bladder conditions. The scan also evaluates the prostate gland, helping to detect structural changes such as enlargement or nodules. Regular assessment can be especially useful for men with a family history of prostate disease or those at higher risk.
What organs will be evaluated in this scan?
Kidneys: position, structure, blockages, stones, or masses
Bladder: wall thickness, diverticula (pouches), stones, and larger tumours
Prostate gland: size and structural assessment
