Sonographer London
Ultrasound examinations are exclusively performed by doctors who hold a certificate confirming their skills in ultrasound diagnostics. Unfortunately, despite this requirement, in some clinics, ultrasound exams are conducted by individuals who are not doctors. At FastMedica, such situations can never occur. In our clinic, all ultrasound exams are performed by experienced doctors who possess the necessary qualifications in imaging diagnostics.

Ultrasound – A Versatile Imaging Test
A Polish ultrasonographer conducts a variety of ultrasound exams. Each type of ultrasound is designed to visualize different areas of the body or organs. Commonly performed ultrasounds include breast ultrasound, thyroid ultrasound, abdominal ultrasound, and hip joint ultrasound. These are classic imaging tests used to diagnose a wide range of conditions and to monitor the progress of treatment. Additionally, at FastMedica, we perform heart ultrasound and Doppler ultrasound, which assesses blood flow in veins and arteries.
Ultrasonography is a non-invasive diagnostic method that uses sound waves to create images of the body’s interior. Ultrasounds can be repeated multiple times and performed on individuals of all ages, including pregnant women, infants, and seniors dealing with various health issues. Since it is a quick and safe procedure, ultrasound exams are widely used in prevention, such as breast cancer screening.
Ultrasonographer in London – Purpose of the Ultrasound Examination
Ultrasound examinations are conducted for various reasons. An ultrasonographer at FastMedica typically performs ultrasounds in four situations:
- To detect conditions that cause symptoms like pain, a palpable lump, or thickening.
- To detect conditions that do not present clear symptoms.
- To monitor the progress of treatment.
- For preventive purposes (screening for specific conditions).
Course of the Ultrasound Examination
A Polish ultrasonographer in London invites patients for a consultation, during which the ultrasound examination of the selected body area will be performed quickly and effectively. Equipped with extensive knowledge and modern ultrasound equipment, the doctor thoroughly examines abdominal tissues, the thyroid, hip joints, or any other area indicated by the patient.
The ultrasound is generally performed while the patient is lying down. The patient positions themselves to provide the doctor with easy access to the area being examined. The ultrasonographer then applies a special gel to the patient’s skin, which helps the ultrasound probe move smoothly over the body and visualize all the internal organs relevant to the examination. The emitted sound waves bounce off the tissues and create an image on the computer monitor.
The doctor interprets the image in real time, but the results must be provided to the patient in writing. After completing the ultrasound, the doctor discusses their observations with the patient and then gives a detailed written report.
