Lymph node ultrasound in Pozzallo
Lymph node ultrasound performed personally by the radiologist, by appointment, at the practice in Pozzallo (RG), Italy. Report and explanation at the end of the scan.
What it is for
Assesses the superficial lymph nodes (neck, armpits, groin) for size, shape and internal structure. Requested for a persistent palpable lymph node, fever or reactive inflammation, follow-up of known disease or suspected lymphadenopathy.
Why it is done
You have it if you notice a swelling or an enlarged lymph node that does not go away, in case of persistent fever, or to check lymph nodes already known.
How it works
Gel is applied to the area (neck, armpit or groin) and the probe is gently moved over it.
What I check
We assess the size, shape and internal structure of the lymph node to understand whether it has benign features or requires further investigation.
Is any preparation needed?
No. This scan needs no fasting and no preparation. If you have previous reports or scans, bring them with you: they help to compare and follow any change over time.
How much it costs
A single fee of €80 for every exam: includes the scan, the written report handed to you straight away and a spoken explanation. See fees
