What is an ultrasound?

An ultrasound scan uses high-frequency sound waves to make pictures of organs, soft tissue, blood vessels and an unborn baby. It does not use radiation and is done by a sonographer with a hand-held probe. Health New Zealand: Ultrasound scans

Referral

Most ultrasound scans need a referral from a GP, midwife, specialist or physiotherapist. Some private clinics accept self-referral for certain scans; check before you book.

Time and preparation

Most scans take 15 to 45 minutes. Some scans need a full bladder or fasting; the clinic will tell you how to prepare.

Who pays

Ultrasound may be publicly funded, ACC-funded for injuries, paid by insurance or self-paid. Pregnancy scans that are part of the national screening programme are free for eligible women.
