Faster Answers, Reassuring Care
At Universal Ultrasound Diagnostics in Kings Norton, Birmingham, we know that uncertainty is stressful. This is why we offer private child ultrasound scans with speed and accuracy in a compassionate, caring and respectful environment so you can have same-day peace of mind & answers. This is vitally important for any parent who wants clarity and fast answers to their concerns.
Fast Appointments, Clear Results
With long NHS waiting times, often leaving families anxious for weeks or months, a private ultrasound is the quickest option to get answers.
At Universal Ultrasound Diagnostics, we offer quick and flexible same-day appointments, including evenings and weekends to suit work commitments, childcare and busy family schedules. Findings are explained straight after the scan, and your report and images are emailed to you on the same day, and any recommendations for further investigations will be included in the report. You can share the report with your GP or any healthcare professionals.
Safe, Painless, and Child-Friendly
An ultrasound scan is safe for children. It is an imaging technique that utilises sound waves, not radiation, to create clear images of the internal structures of the body.
The paediatric scan is suitable for various ailments, including:
- Thyroid and neck scan – evaluates lumps or swelling in the neck
- Abdominal scan, which includes Liver, Gallbladder, Pancreas, Aorta, Spleen, Kidneys and Bladder – investigates stomach problems, or for those who just want to check organ health. The scan can also check for hernias and appendicitis.
- Pelvic scan – this is performed transabdominally to assess the reproductive system, which includes the uterus (womb) and its lining, and the ovaries. The scan checks for cysts, infection, inflammation, and polycystic ovaries
- Scrotal scan - which assesses post-trauma and looks at possible causes of chronic pain, helps to check for varicocele, identify any abnormalities in the testes or undescended testicles; evaluates swelling to look for the cause of testicular pain, such as infection, inflammation or scrotal mass
- Breast Scan - helps detect any mass, infection, inflammation, cysts, abnormalities in the breast, lumps, and evaluates the blood flow to the breast area.
- Lumps and Bumps scan – examines lumps or swelling in various areas of the body
- Musculoskeletal (MSK) scan – for muscle, joint and ligament concerns in the shoulder, knees, hands, wrist, elbow, ankle and foot
- Hip scan – detects hip joint problems in young children and babies
All scans are completely painless and non-invasive, performed by our qualified and experienced Sonographers and NHS Consultant Radiologist in a friendly and calm environment where parents and children can feel relaxed.

We explain and give instructions during the scan in child-friendly terms, helping even the youngest patients feel less anxious.
