Ultrasound

We have the latest state of the art modern ultrasound systems in our hospitals and community locations that can be used for all diagnostic medical ultrasound.

This includes:

• abdominal
• small parts (testes, thyroid)
• gynaecology
• musculoskeletal
• vascular
• obstetrics
• transrectal ultrasound and prostate biopsy

At the University Hospital of North Tees we see patients who are in hospital and are poorly. We also carry out interventional ultrasound techniques and biopsies, and see emergency and urgent obstetric and gynaecology patients.

At the University Hospital of Hartlepool we see patients who are in hospital, including patients who have had a stroke, patients who have had a transient ischaemic attack (TIA – mini stroke), and for infertility services.
