Ultrasounds are pretty standard for most people during pregnancy. But outside of pregnancy, ultrasounds have other applications and can be used to observe various tissues and diagnose various conditions. While ultrasound is more affordable than other imaging technologies, it still costs quite a bit and requires adequate financial preparation. If you have an ultrasound coming up, knowing how much it will cost you is the first step to helping you prepare and budget for it.

Ultrasound Scan Prices FAQs
Q: How much does an ultrasound scan cost?
The cost of an ultrasound scan varies depending on the clinic, the type of ultrasound and the part of the body being observed. Ultrasound scans can cost as little as £39 and up to £700. In some cases, these scans also include other tests like blood tests.
Q: How much is an ultrasound scan for pregnancy?
There are several types of pregnancy scans, which include early pregnancy scans, dating scans, gender scans, growth scans, anomaly scans, presentation scans, and 3D and 4D scans, among others. Each type of pregnancy scan has a different cost. The lowest price is £60 for the gender scan, and the highest cost is £199 for the anomaly scan.
Q: How long should an ultrasound take?
Most ultrasounds only take a few minutes to complete. On average, the scan takes about 20 minutes to complete. However, the most intensive scans can take longer, usually not more than an hour.
Q: How many ultrasound scans are necessary?
The number of necessary scans depends on the type of scan. Some scans, like pregnancy scans, might require more scans to observe the progression of the pregnancy, and in other cases, follow-up scans might be required to check how various parts, like joints or muscles, are responding to treatment. However, you should be concerned about taking multiple ultrasound scans because they’re not known to have any adverse side effects on the body.
Q: Do you offer ultrasound scans together with blood tests?
Yes, for many different scans combining the scan with a relevant blood test is a great option to get further insights and diagnostic information. For some tests like the Harmony Test and the Panorama Test, we can do the blood tests alongside the ultrasound as a standard recommended practice. We also have an option of only conducting the blood tests.
