Ultrasound Scan at Radiant Radiology, Gold Coast & Logan
Radiant Radiology offers high-quality Ultrasound imaging using advanced, real-time diagnostic technology. Ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive imaging method that uses sound waves, not radiation, to assess organs, soft tissues, blood flow, and developing pregnancies with clarity and precision.
We provide ultrasound scans across our Pimpama, Ormeau, Yarrabilba, and Elanora clinics, supporting patients and referring doctors throughout the Gold Coast and Logan region.

How We Perform Your Ultrasound
Your ultrasound is performed by our experienced sonographers in a private, comfortable setting. A small handheld device called a transducer is gently moved over the area being examined using a warm gel to ensure clear image quality.
The scan provides real-time images, allowing immediate assessment. Our radiologists carefully review the findings and provide a detailed report to your referring doctor promptly.
Types of Ultrasound We Provide
Used to assess organs including the liver, gallbladder, and kidneys, often for symptoms such as abdominal pain or to investigate abnormal test results.
Assesses the reproductive organs and pelvic structures. For specific breast or pregnancy imaging, see our Breast Ultrasound and Pregnancy Scans pages.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does an ultrasound scan take?
Most ultrasound scans take between 15 and 45 minutes, depending on the area being examined. Your sonographer will confirm the expected duration when you book.
Do I need a referral for an ultrasound in Queensland?
Yes, a referral from your GP or specialist is required for a Medicare-eligible ultrasound. Contact your nearest Radiant Radiology clinic if you have questions about your referral.
Is ultrasound safe during pregnancy?
Ultrasound uses sound waves rather than radiation, and is a routine, widely used method for monitoring pregnancy. Your sonographer will discuss your scan with you on the day.
Do I need to prepare for my ultrasound?
Preparation depends on the type of scan. Some studies, such as abdominal or pelvic ultrasound, may require fasting or a full bladder. Our team will confirm specific instructions when you book.
What's the difference between an ultrasound and a CT scan?
Ultrasound uses sound waves and is best suited to soft tissue, while CT uses low-dose radiation and provides detailed cross-sectional imaging. Your referring doctor will recommend the most appropriate scan for your situation.
