Breast Ultrasound

Particularly valuable for women from the age of 30 onwards.
Female sonographer available from 1:00 PM

Breast ultrasound is an essential diagnostic examination for evaluating breast pain, lumps, cysts and other breast abnormalities. It is particularly beneficial for women with dense breast tissue and serves as an excellent complementary investigation when clinically indicated.

Suspicious Lesions, Detected Early Cyst vs Solid Mass Breast Pain or Swelling Dense Breast Tissue

Thyroid Ultrasound

The structural answer behind an abnormal thyroid blood result.

A blood test tells you how your thyroid is functioning. An ultrasound shows what it looks like. Together they explain enlargement, nodules and cysts and guide what happens next. The same technique covers other superficial structures in the neck and elsewhere.

Thyroid Nodules & Cysts Goitre Neck Lymph Nodes Salivary Glands Scrotal Ultrasound

Musculoskeletal & Soft Tissue Ultrasound

Muscles, tendons and swellings, imaged live while you move.

Ultrasound examines soft tissue structures that an X-ray cannot show, including tendons, muscles, joint effusions and superficial lumps. Because the scan is live, the radiologist can assess the structure while the joint is moved, which frequently reveals what a static image would miss.

Tendon Injury Joint Effusion Soft Tissue Lumps Sports Injuries

Doppler Scan

Blood flow, measured while it happens.

A standard ultrasound shows structure. A Doppler scan adds movement, measuring the direction and speed of blood travelling through your veins and arteries. That is how a clot, a narrowing or a valve that is no longer closing properly becomes visible, and it is done with the same probe, in the same appointment, with no radiation and no injection.

Ultrasound-Guided Procedures

Answers about a lump without surgery, guided in real time.
Performed by a doctor, not available Fridays

When a lump is deep or difficult to feel, ultrasound guides the needle so the sample comes from exactly the right spot. The cells are then stained and examined under a microscope by a specialist pathologist.

Imaging That Answers the Harder Questions

Some findings need more than a quick look. These are the examinations where technique, timing and the experience of the person holding the probe change the answer you get. Each one is explained in full, so you know exactly what is being looked at and why it matters.

Breast Ultrasound: Early Detection Saves Lives

A lump is not a diagnosis. Ultrasound is often the fastest way to find out what it is.

Breast ultrasound uses sound waves rather than radiation to look inside breast tissue, which makes it repeatable, safe in pregnancy and suitable at any age. It is especially valuable for women with dense breast tissue, where other imaging is harder to interpret, and it is frequently the first examination requested when a woman notices a change.

Cyst or solid mass

This is the most common question a breast ultrasound answers. A simple fluid-filled cyst looks entirely different from a solid lesion on ultrasound, and that single distinction very often ends the worry on the day of the scan.

Pain and swelling

Breast pain is rarely caused by anything serious, but it is difficult to be reassured without looking. Ultrasound evaluates the painful area directly and identifies inflammation, blocked ducts and collections.

Guiding what comes next

Where a finding needs further assessment, our radiologist can advise on sampling and coordinate directly with your treating doctor here rather than sending you elsewhere to start again.

Early diagnosis significantly improves treatment options and clinical outcomes. That is the entire reason this examination exists.

Women's Health & Pelvic Ultrasound

Irregular cycles, heavy bleeding and pelvic pain usually have a visible cause.

Ultrasound is the primary imaging method for the female pelvis because it shows soft tissue in real time without radiation. Most gynecological complaints that bring women to a clinic have a structural explanation that a pelvic scan will identify.

Abdominal or transvaginal

An abdominal pelvic scan is performed through the lower abdomen with a comfortably full bladder, which pushes the bowel out of the way. A transvaginal scan uses a slim internal probe that sits much closer to the uterus and ovaries, giving considerably more detail and requiring no full bladder.

Your radiologist will advise which approach answers the clinical question, and in some cases both are performed in the same appointment.

What it identifies

Ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids, polycystic ovaries, endometriosis where visible, causes of abnormal menstrual bleeding and findings relevant to infertility assessment.

Early identification of these conditions enables timely treatment, helping women maintain optimal reproductive and overall health.

Ultrasound-Guided FNAC

Most lumps are harmless. This is how you find out which.
Report in 3 working daysPerformed by a doctor, not available Fridays

Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology uses a very thin needle to draw cells from a suspicious lump, most commonly in the thyroid, breast or a lymph node. When the lump is deep or hard to feel, ultrasound guidance places the needle precisely, so the sample comes from the right part of the lesion rather than the tissue beside it.

Quick and outpatient

The procedure usually takes less than 15 minutes, is done on an outpatient basis and helps you avoid a more invasive surgical biopsy.

Guided for accuracy

Real-time ultrasound lets the radiologist watch the needle as it moves, which improves sample adequacy and reduces the chance of an inconclusive result requiring a repeat visit.

Interpreted by a specialist

The collected cells are placed on a glass slide, stained and examined under a microscope by a specialist pathologist, so the result comes back from someone trained to read exactly this kind of sample.

Ultrasound & Fatty Liver Disease

One of the most common findings in Qatar, and it usually has no symptoms.

Fatty liver disease develops quietly and rarely causes symptoms until it is advanced. Ultrasound is the standard first-line test because it shows the increased echogenicity of a fatty liver directly, and it does so without radiation or any preparation beyond fasting.

Why blood tests alone are not enough

Liver function tests can be entirely normal in someone who already has significant fatty change. The scan sees what the blood chemistry does not, which is why the two are so often ordered together.

What the scan covers

Alongside the liver, the same examination assesses the gallbladder for stones and inflammation, the kidneys for stones and obstruction, and the pancreas and spleen. One appointment, one scan, several answers.

Fatty liver is reversible when identified early, which is why Wellkins runs a dedicated reversal programme alongside the imaging.

Pregnancy Ultrasound in Doha

Pregnancy is a remarkable journey and regular ultrasound is how you and your doctor stay confident it is going well. Our obstetric scans run from the first confirmation right through to late growth assessment, performed on the same equipment by the same radiologist, so comparisons between visits stay consistent.

Safe to repeat at every stage of pregnancy

Every Scan Compared Against the Last One.

Fetal measurements only mean something in context. Because your scans are performed here on the same equipment by the same radiologist, growth is tracked against your own baseline rather than against a report from another centre using different settings.

Obstetric scans run Saturday to Thursday, 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Booking ahead is recommended so your appointment aligns with your obstetrician's review.

1
Confirmation & Accurate Dating
Confirms the pregnancy, locates it correctly and establishes an accurate due date, which every later measurement is compared against.
2
Fetal Growth & Development
Measures the baby against expected milestones and assesses development, giving your obstetrician objective numbers rather than an estimate.
3
Placental & Amniotic Fluid Assessment
Evaluates placental position and function together with amniotic fluid volume, two of the clearest indicators of how a pregnancy is progressing.

Fetal Wellbeing Monitoring
Ongoing monitoring of the baby's wellbeing, so anything needing attention is identified early and managed by your treating doctor in the same building.
Full bladder not required

Transvaginal Ultrasound

A slim internal probe sits much closer to the uterus and ovaries than an abdominal approach can, producing considerably more detail. It is the preferred method in early pregnancy, where a few millimetres of resolution decide whether a finding can be confirmed at all.

Sat to Thu, 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM

Obstetric Ultrasound

Covers pregnancy confirmation, dating, fetal growth and development, placental evaluation, amniotic fluid assessment and fetal wellbeing. Performed and interpreted by our Specialist Radiologist, with findings shared directly with your obstetrician here.

Confidence Behind Every Image

A scan is only as good as the equipment that captures it and the specialist who reads it. Here is what stands behind every report we issue.

Lower Radiation by Design

Digital X-ray delivers high-resolution images at a lower dose than conventional film, and every examination is justified before it is performed. Ultrasound uses no ionising radiation at all.

Specialist-Performed Ultrasound

Ultrasound at Wellkins is performed and interpreted by a Specialist Radiologist rather than acquired by one person and read by another elsewhere, which removes a common source of missed detail.

Specialist-Reported Imaging

Every study is reported by a Specialist Radiologist. Imaging, laboratory and your treating doctor are all in one building, so findings can be reviewed together.

Female Sonographer Available

A female sonographer is available Saturday to Thursday from 1:00 PM to 9:00 PM. If you would prefer a female operator for a pelvic, transvaginal, breast or pregnancy scan, mention it when you book and we will schedule you inside those hours.

Insurance Accepted

Direct billing available for covered imaging with our insurance partners. Bring your card and our front office will verify your benefits before the scan.

Common Scans Explained

X-ray

A very quick image that passes a small amount of radiation through the body to show dense structures, mainly bone and the chest. It is the first test for a suspected fracture and for most lung complaints.

Chest X-ray

Looks at the lungs, heart size and chest wall. It is used for persistent cough, breathlessness and chest infection, and it forms part of many pre-employment and residency medical requirements in Qatar.

Abdominal Ultrasound

Examines the liver, gallbladder, kidneys, pancreas, spleen and bladder. It is the standard test for fatty liver, gallstones and kidney stones, and it is done after a period of fasting so the gallbladder is clearly visible.

KUB Ultrasound

Kidneys, ureters and bladder. It is the standard scan for suspected kidney stones, recurrent urinary infection, blood in the urine and difficulty passing urine.

Pelvic Ultrasound

Assesses the uterus, ovaries and surrounding structures. It is the main test for ovarian cysts, fibroids, polycystic ovaries and unexplained pelvic pain or abnormal bleeding. A comfortably full bladder is needed.

Transvaginal Ultrasound

A pelvic scan performed with a slim internal probe that sits closer to the uterus and ovaries, giving considerably more detail than an abdominal approach. Frequently used in early pregnancy and fertility assessment, with no full bladder required.

Obstetric Ultrasound

Pregnancy scanning. It confirms and dates the pregnancy, measures the baby's growth, checks the placenta and amniotic fluid and monitors fetal wellbeing. It uses sound waves only, with no radiation involved.

Breast Ultrasound

Evaluates breast lumps, pain and swelling, then distinguishes a fluid-filled cyst from a solid mass. It is particularly useful in younger women and anyone with dense breast tissue, and it involves no radiation.

Thyroid Ultrasound

Shows the size and structure of the thyroid gland and identifies nodules and cysts. A thyroid blood test tells you how the gland is working, while ultrasound shows what it looks like, so the two are often ordered together.

Scrotal Ultrasound

Assesses testicular pain, swelling or a lump. It is a short, non-invasive examination and it is the appropriate first test for almost every scrotal complaint.

Musculoskeletal Ultrasound

Examines tendons, muscles, joints and lumps under the skin, structures an X-ray cannot show. Because the scan is live, the radiologist can assess the area while you move the joint.

Ultrasound-Guided FNAC

A thin needle takes a small sample of cells from a lump while ultrasound guides its position. It usually takes under 15 minutes, avoids a surgical biopsy, and the cells are examined by a specialist pathologist.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about a scan at Wellkins? You can also WhatsApp us directly.

Do I need a doctor's referral for a scan?

Imaging is normally requested by a doctor, because the request tells the radiologist what clinical question the scan needs to answer. If you do not already have one, our doctors are in the same building and can see you first. Insurance claims generally require a doctor's request, since self-requested scans are typically self-pay.

How should I prepare for an abdominal ultrasound?

Fasting is usually required for 6 to 8 hours so the gallbladder is properly visible, with plain water allowed. Our team will confirm the exact preparation when you book, since it varies depending on which organs are being examined.

Do I need a full bladder for a pelvic ultrasound?

For an abdominal pelvic scan, yes. A comfortably full bladder pushes the bowel out of the way and gives a much clearer view of the uterus and ovaries, so drink water beforehand and avoid emptying your bladder on arrival. A transvaginal scan does not require a full bladder.

Is a female sonographer available?

Yes. A female sonographer is available Saturday to Thursday from 1:00 PM to 9:00 PM. If you would prefer a female operator for a pelvic, transvaginal, breast or pregnancy scan, please mention it when you book so we can schedule your appointment inside those hours.

Is ultrasound safe during pregnancy?

Yes. Ultrasound produces images using sound waves and involves no ionising radiation at all, which is exactly why it is the imaging method used throughout pregnancy and why it can be repeated as often as your doctor advises.

Can I have an X-ray if I might be pregnant?

Tell our team before the examination if there is any chance you are pregnant. X-rays are avoided in pregnancy unless clinically necessary, and in most cases an ultrasound can answer the same question safely. Where an X-ray is genuinely required, shielding and dose reduction measures are applied.

How long does a scan take?

An X-ray takes only a few minutes. Most ultrasound examinations take between 15 and 30 minutes depending on how many areas are being assessed. Ultrasound-guided procedures such as FNAC usually take under 15 minutes.

When will I get my report?

Timing depends on the examination. Our team will confirm the expected turnaround when you attend, and your report is shared with you and your treating doctor as soon as it is issued.

Can I walk in for an X-ray without an appointment?

X-rays are generally available without a long wait, Saturday to Thursday from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Ultrasound runs the same hours but should be booked in advance, so that a scan slot and the reporting radiologist are both available when you arrive. Neither is available on Fridays.

Can I come on a Friday?

Our imaging department is closed on Fridays. Both X-ray and ultrasound run Saturday to Thursday, so please book any scan within those days. Our laboratory does open on Fridays for blood tests and sample collection if that is what you need.

Is my insurance accepted for imaging?

We work with QLM, Al Koot, Cigna, GlobeMed, Nextcare and Allianz. Coverage depends on your individual policy and usually requires a doctor's request, so bring your insurance card and our front office will verify your benefits before the scan.

Do you have CT or MRI at Wellkins?

Our imaging department provides digital X-ray and comprehensive ultrasound. If your condition needs cross-sectional imaging, our radiologist and treating doctors will advise you on the appropriate referral pathway.

Are scans included in the health packages?

Several Wellkins health packages include an ultrasound as part of the assessment, and the Neo Card carries a discount on radiology services. See the packages page for exactly what each one covers.
