At London Private Ultrasound, we prioritize your overall health. Our Lymph Node Ultrasound Examination offers a non-invasive method to closely examine the size, shape, and structure of your lymph nodes, often used to detect any unusual growths or abnormalities.
Lymph nodes are small, bean-shaped organs that are found throughout the body. They are part of the immune system and help to fight infection.
You may need a lymph node ultrasound if you have any of the following:
- Enlarged lymph nodes
- Painful lymph nodes
- A lump in the neck, armpit, or groin
- A history of cancer
- A weakened immune system
Frequently Asked Questions:
What does it mean if my lymph nodes are enlarged?
Enlarged lymph nodes can be caused by a variety of conditions, including infection, inflammation, and cancer. If you have enlarged lymph nodes, your doctor will need to do further tests to determine the cause.
What does it mean if my lymph nodes are abnormal in shape or echogenicity?
Abnormal shape or echogenicity of the lymph nodes can be a sign of cancer. However, it is important to remember that not all abnormal lymph nodes are cancerous. Your doctor will need to do further tests to determine the cause of your abnormal lymph nodes.
Why would I need a Lymph Node Ultrasound Examination?
If you’ve noticed swollen or painful glands, an ultrasound can help determine the cause and if there’s any underlying issue that needs attention.
How is a lymph node ultrasound performed?
A lymph node ultrasound is performed by a healthcare professional called a sonographer. The sonographer will apply a small amount of gel to your skin and then place a transducer on your skin. The transducer sends out sound waves and receives the echoes that bounce back. These echoes are used to create images of the lymph nodes.
The lymph node ultrasound can be performed in a variety of positions, including lying on your back, your side, or sitting up. The procedure usually takes about 20-30 minutes.
Preparation
There’s minimal preparation required. However, it’s best to wear comfortable clothing and possibly avoid wearing any jewelry that might interfere with the scan.
When will I get the results?
You will receive your results verbally after the scan. However, the Sonographer will examine the relevant images after your appointment and prepare a written report after your scan or within 24 hours with any recommended actions.
