What We Offer
Clearer Imaging to Support Clinical Assessment
Our diagnostic ultrasound services provide non-invasive imaging that can assist healthcare professionals in assessing a range of medical conditions. Depending on the clinical indication, imaging may include vascular, musculoskeletal, abdominal and women’s ultrasound examinations, with image-guided procedures available where appropriate.
Diagnostic Ultrasound
Diagnostic ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of structures inside the body. It can assist in clinical assessment and monitoring.
Vascular Ultrasound
Vascular ultrasound can assess blood flow and structures within selected arteries and veins. It may assist in evaluating vascular conditions.
Musculoskeletal Ultrasound
Musculoskeletal ultrasound can provide images of selected muscles, tendons, joints and other soft tissues and may assist in assessing some musculoskeletal concerns.
Abdominal Imaging
Abdominal ultrasound can be used to assess selected organs and structures within the abdomen when clinically indicated.
Women's Imaging
Women's ultrasound imaging can be used for selected pelvic and pregnancy-related assessments depending on clinical indication and referral requirements.
Image-Guided Procedures
Image guidance can assist some procedures by allowing the practitioner to visualise relevant structures during the procedure. Suitability depends on the procedure and clinical circumstances.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is diagnostic ultrasound?
Diagnostic ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of structures inside the body. It does not use ionising radiation. The type of scan requested depends on the clinical question, and the images are used alongside other medical information to support assessment and care.
What types of ultrasound are available at HealthiClinic?
HealthiClinic provides diagnostic ultrasound across vascular, musculoskeletal, abdominal and women’s imaging, with selected image-guided procedures where clinically appropriate. Patients should contact the clinic to confirm whether the specific examination on their referral is available.
Do I need a referral for an ultrasound in Sydney?
Referral requirements can depend on the examination, clinical circumstances and Medicare or billing arrangements. Contact HealthiClinic before booking so the team can confirm what documentation is required and provide any preparation instructions for the requested scan.
How should I prepare for a diagnostic ultrasound?
Preparation differs by scan. Some abdominal or pelvic examinations may require fasting or a full bladder, while other scans need little preparation. Follow the instructions provided when booking and bring the referral, relevant previous imaging and identification to the appointment.
What is a vascular ultrasound used to assess?
Vascular ultrasound can examine blood flow and selected arteries or veins. Depending on the referral, it may help assess concerns such as narrowing, blockage, abnormal flow or venous problems. The scan findings must be interpreted in the context of symptoms and clinical assessment.
What can a musculoskeletal ultrasound show?
Musculoskeletal ultrasound can image selected muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints and other soft tissues. It may assist with assessing certain injuries, inflammation or lumps. Not every musculoskeletal concern is best assessed by ultrasound, so the referrer determines the appropriate imaging pathway.
Is diagnostic ultrasound safe?
Diagnostic ultrasound has a long history of clinical use and does not involve ionising radiation. It should still be performed for an appropriate clinical reason by trained professionals using accepted practice. Any limitations or procedure-specific considerations can be discussed before the scan.
How long does an ultrasound appointment take?
Appointment length varies according to the body area, complexity of the examination and whether an image-guided procedure is involved. Ask HealthiClinic when booking for an estimated duration and arrive early enough to complete any required registration.
When will my ultrasound results be available?
Timing depends on the examination, reporting process and referring practitioner. Results are generally provided through the appropriate clinical pathway rather than interpreted by the patient alone. Contact the clinic or referrer if you need to confirm how and when the report will be discussed.
Where can I arrange diagnostic ultrasound on Sydney’s Lower North Shore?
