Abdominal Ultrasound Options for Patients from Oxford
If you live in Oxford and are considering RAD Clinics for a private abdominal ultrasound, you would need to attend an operating branch outside Oxford. We do not have an Oxford clinic. Our Milton Keynes branch is one option to discuss with the team.
Adult abdominal scans are listed at £160 including a report. Check whether the service, appointment availability and journey meet your needs before booking.

Where is the appointment option described here?
An Abdominal Scan is a non-invasive, ultrasound-based imaging procedure used to examine the organs, tissues, and structures within the abdomen. At RAD Clinics, we use advanced ultrasound technology to provide clear and accurate images that help diagnose a wide range of abdominal conditions. Whether you’re experiencing discomfort, pain, or other symptoms related to your abdomen, our abdominal scan can offer insights into the underlying cause and guide appropriate treatment.
This scan is highly valuable for detecting abnormalities or conditions that affect abdominal organs, as well as the soft tissues and blood flow in the abdominal region.
Where is the appointment option described here?
The Milton Keynes branch is at 1, The Courtyard, Brookland Farm, Newport Road, Broughton, Milton Keynes, MK16 0HU. Contact the branch on 01908 596996.
This is an appointment outside Oxford, not an Oxford service location. We do not describe it as your nearest option. Review the Milton Keynes clinic details and check travel from your own starting address before deciding to attend.
Conditions Diagnosed by Abdominal Scan
This scan is useful for diagnosing a wide range of conditions, particularly those involving the major organs and soft tissues of the abdomen. Below are some of the most common conditions that can be identified with this type of scan:
Gallstones
Hard deposits that form in the gallbladder, causing pain and potential blockages in bile ducts.
Kidney Stones
Solid mineral deposits in the kidneys that can cause severe pain and obstruct urine flow.
Liver Disease
Includes conditions like fatty liver, cirrhosis, or liver inflammation, affecting liver function and overall health.
Pancreatitis
Inflammation of the pancreas, leading to severe abdominal pain and digestive issues.
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
A bulging or weakening of the abdominal aorta, which can be life-threatening if it ruptures.
Tumours and Masses
Ultrasound can detect abnormal growths or masses in the liver, pancreas, kidneys, or other abdominal organs.
Ascites
The buildup of fluid in the abdomen, often associated with liver disease or cancer.
Appendicitis
Inflammation of the appendix, which can lead to emergency surgery if untreated.
Enlarged Organs
The scan can detect the enlargement of organs like the spleen, liver, or kidneys, indicating underlying conditions.
Biliary Obstruction
Blockages in the bile ducts, often caused by gallstones or tumours, can be diagnosed through an abdominal scan.
What should you confirm before travelling?
Send or describe the scan request when enquiring. Ask the team to check the required examination before you choose a date, particularly if it involves the pelvis, urinary tract or a combined scan.
Confirm preparation instructions, access needs and the expected report arrangements. If your appointment is part of care being managed in Oxford, ask what information you should bring and how you will receive the report for subsequent review.
Consider the full appointment arrangements
The adult scan fee includes a report, but check any additional consultation requirements separately. Children’s appointments have different pricing and should be discussed with the team.
Consider transport and any follow-up appointment alongside the scan booking. Do not assume a visit will include treatment, all further investigations or a same-day written result.
Understand the examination before choosing a provider
Our abdominal ultrasound guide explains the purpose of the scan, its limitations and preparation. If you are unsure whether an ultrasound is appropriate, seek clinical advice before booking travel for an examination.
Urgent symptoms should be assessed promptly where you are. Do not delay medical care to attend a routine appointment outside Oxford.

Urgent abdominal pain: If pain is sudden or severe, go to A&E or call 999. Do not wait for a routine private scan.
Common Questions We Hear From Patients
What organs are looked at during an abdominal ultrasound?
An abdominal ultrasound examines key organs including the liver, kidneys, pancreas, spleen, gallbladder, and blood vessels such as the abdominal aorta. This scan helps assess the overall health of your abdominal organs and detect any abnormalities.
What diseases can an abdominal ultrasound detect?
An abdominal ultrasound can help detect conditions like liver disease, kidney stones, gallstones, tumors, cysts, and abdominal aortic aneurysms. It is also useful for diagnosing inflammation or infection in abdominal organs.
What is the difference between pelvic scan and abdominal scan?
An abdominal scan focuses on the upper and lower abdomen, examining organs such as the liver, kidneys, and spleen. A pelvic scan, however, specifically targets the lower abdomen, including organs like the bladder, uterus, and ovaries. Both scans use ultrasound technology, but they focus on different areas of the body.
What to wear to abdominal ultrasound?
For your abdominal ultrasound, wear loose, comfortable clothing. You may be asked to lift your top or remove clothing from your waist down to allow easy access to your abdomen for the scan.
How long does an upper abdominal ultrasound take?
An upper abdominal ultrasound typically takes around 20 to 30 minutes. The procedure is non-invasive and relatively quick, allowing us to provide you with a thorough assessment of your abdominal health.
