Ultrasound Screening

Wellness begins with a clear view within.

Ultrasound screenings can play a vital role in your wellness journey by providing a real-time view of your body’s systems and overall function. It may help identify potential concerns early, guide a targeted lifestyle, or support a more proactive, informed approach to your wellness.

Available at our Deer Park location. Call us at (509) 838-5800 to schedule your appointment or learn more.

We offer two types of ultrasound services to meet different health needs: screenings and diagnostic imaging.

Our ultrasound screening services provide a quick, noninvasive look at specific organs or entire body systems to support preventive and proactive health care. These screenings are not recorded or formally measured, are not used to diagnose, and are not for those with pre-existing imaging, but they may help identify obvious abnormalities that may warrant further evaluation or establish a baseline. Screenings are performed by a highly experienced sonographer technician who interprets the images in real time during the exam. These screenings are not sent to a radiologist for detailed diagnostic review. Common reasons for ultrasound screening include routine health checks, age-based monitoring, family history of medical concerns, and establishing a personal benchmark for overall wellness. Screenings are self-pay, and no referral is needed.

Our diagnostic imaging services provide in-depth, focused studies for a detailed evaluation of specific body systems. These studies are ideal for patients experiencing symptoms, managing a known condition, or seeking a targeted assessment of a particular concern. Each diagnostic ultrasound is carefully reviewed by a radiologist to deliver a comprehensive, expert diagnosis, helping guide personalized care and treatment decisions. Diagnostic imaging is covered by most insurance plans, and self-pay options are also available if insurance is unavailable. A referral is required and can either be arranged through our clinic or provided by another healthcare provider. Please call our clinic for more information on diagnostic imaging.

Screening vs Diagnostic Imaging

Ultrasound Screening Services

If you’d like to include more areas in your ultrasound, each additional area is $100. You can also review our Complete System options for multiple-location ultrasounds at bundle pricing.

These screenings are intended solely for preventive assessment and are not used for medical diagnosis, treatment, or clinical management. Please note that these screenings are conducted in real time and interpreted by the sonographer; we do not record the sessions or provide physical photos or copies of the imagery.

Abdominal

$120

A liver ultrasound screening provides a quick look at the liver’s overall appearance to identify obvious changes such as visible masses, or the coarse surface patterns often associated with chronic inflammation. Common reasons for a screening include metabolic health tracking, a history of alcohol use, high cholesterol, or persistent discomfort in the upper right abdomen. Because the liver often functions quietly even when stressed, this preventative scan provides a vital window into your internal health. Changes in liver appearance may be linked to diet, lifestyle factors, or underlying congestion, allowing for proactive monitoring and better long-term wellness. Screenings are not recorded or measured but can help determine if a more detailed evaluation is needed.

$120

A gallbladder ultrasound screening delivers a fast, non-invasive observation of the gallbladder’s wall thickness and the presence of internal debris. This preventative wellness view is used to identify common issues such as gallstones, "sludge," or obvious inflammation without a formal diagnostic workup. Common reasons for a screening include indigestion after fatty meals, sharp pain in the upper right abdomen, bloating, or a family history of gallbladder disease. Since many people carry gallstones without knowing it, this proactive check helps monitor for potential blockages before they lead to a painful attack. Gallbladder changes may be associated with diet, hormonal fluctuations, or bile flow obstructions that could impact your digestive health.

$120

Our kidney ultrasound screening provides a real-time view of the kidneys’ size, shape, and position to detect any clear structural concerns. This wellness-focused scan is an effective way to identify kidney stones, fluid backup (hydronephrosis), or large cysts that might otherwise go undetected. Common reasons for a screening include chronic back or flank pain, a history of high blood pressure, urinary changes, or a family history of kidney disease. Because the kidneys are essential for filtering waste and regulating blood pressure, this proactive view helps ensure they are functioning without obvious obstruction. Kidney changes may be associated with dehydration, chronic health conditions, or anatomical variations that benefit from regular monitoring.

$120

A pancreas ultrasound screening offers a quick look at the organ’s head, body, and tail to check for structural integrity and clear abnormalities. This wellness check is used to observe the texture of the pancreatic tissue and identify obvious masses, cysts, or signs of chronic inflammation that may not yet be causing severe symptoms. Common reasons for a screening include persistent mid-abdominal pain, unexplained digestive issues, a history of heavy alcohol use, or a family history of pancreatic conditions. Given the pancreas's critical role in insulin production and digestion, a proactive scan can be an essential part of a comprehensive health strategy. Pancreas changes may be associated with fatty infiltration, early-stage inflammation, or ductal blockages that warrant further lifestyle or medical attention.

$120

A spleen ultrasound screening provides a quick look at the spleen’s size, position, and texture to identify obvious abnormalities. It is a real-time wellness view used to detect an enlarged spleen (splenomegaly), visible lesions, or signs of injury without the need for a full diagnostic study. Common reasons for a screening include persistent pain in the upper left abdomen, a history of liver disease, recent viral infections like mononucleosis, or concerns regarding blood disorders. Because the spleen plays a vital role in filtering blood and supporting the immune system, tracking its size is a proactive way to monitor overall health. Spleen changes may be associated with infections, portal hypertension, inflammatory conditions, or underlying blood-related issues that affect its function.

$120

An aorta ultrasound screening provides a real-time view of the abdominal aorta to identify silent health risks like Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA) or significant plaque buildup. This preventative wellness check is a non-invasive way to spot obvious abnormalities before they cause symptoms. Common reasons for a screening include a history of smoking, high blood pressure, or a family history of vascular issues. Since aortic conditions are often "silent" until an emergency occurs, this screening offers a vital proactive look at your vascular health. Early detection allows for better monitoring of changes associated with age, lifestyle, or genetics, ensuring the body's main artery is functioning safely.

Vascular

$120

A carotid ultrasound screening performs an efficient scan of the carotid arteries in the neck to evaluate blood flow and arterial wall health. This preventative wellness check is designed to detect "silent" plaque buildup (atherosclerosis) or obvious narrowing that could increase the risk of a stroke. Common reasons for a screening include high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, a history of smoking, diabetes, or a family history of heart disease or stroke. Because carotid artery disease often develops without any warning signs, this proactive view provides a critical look at your vascular risk profile. Changes in the carotid arteries may be associated with age, lifestyle factors, or cardiovascular conditions that require early intervention or long-term monitoring to maintain brain health.

$120

An ABI (Ankle-Brachial Index) screening performs a quick, non-invasive comparison of the blood pressure in your ankles against the blood pressure in your arms to evaluate your limb circulation. This wellness check provides a real-time view of your vascular health and is not a recorded diagnostic study or a formal medical measurement. It is designed to identify "silent" signs of Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), where narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the legs. Common reasons for a screening include leg cramping while walking, cold feet, a history of smoking, diabetes, or high blood pressure. Because circulation issues often go unnoticed until they become severe, this preventative snapshot offers an immediate look at your arterial health without the need for a full clinical workup. Significant pressure differences may be associated with arterial blockages or hardening of the arteries that warrant further discussion with your healthcare provider.

Cardiac

$200

An Echocardiogram (ECHO) screening provides a real-time visual survey of the heart’s chambers, valves, and overall pumping function. This non-invasive, non-diagnostic view allows for an immediate look at the heart's structural integrity, showing the movement of the heart walls and how blood flows through the valves. Common reasons for a screening include a history of high blood pressure, shortness of breath, or a proactive desire to see the current condition of the heart muscle.

For athletes and high-endurance performers, an ECHO is particularly beneficial for observing how the heart has adapted to intense physical training. It can help distinguish between healthy "athlete’s heart" (natural thickening from exercise) and obvious structural variations that might otherwise go unnoticed. As a foundation for preventative functional wellness, this snapshot offers an essential baseline to support your cardiovascular health and long-term vitality, ensuring your heart is prepared for the demands of an active lifestyle.

General Body

$120

A thyroid ultrasound screening offers an efficient, real-time visual survey of the thyroid gland’s size, shape, and overall texture. This preventative wellness view is used to identify obvious nodules, cysts, or significant enlargement (goiter) without the need for a recorded diagnostic study or formal measurements. Common reasons for a screening include a family history of thyroid issues, visible swelling in the neck, difficulty swallowing, or a desire for a proactive check of metabolic health. Because thyroid irregularities are incredibly common and often go undetected during a physical exam, this quick scan provides an immediate look at the gland's structural health. Changes in the thyroid may be associated with hormonal imbalances, iodine levels, or benign growths that warrant simple monitoring or further discussion with a provider.

$120

A testicular ultrasound screening provides a quick visual assessment of the scrotum and testicles to check for obvious structural concerns. This preventative wellness view is used to identify common issues such as fluid collection (hydroceles), enlarged veins (varicoceles), or palpable lumps and cysts without the need for a recorded diagnostic study. Common reasons for a screening include a history of discomfort, a feeling of heaviness, swelling, or as a proactive measure for men at higher risk for testicular irregularities. Because early detection is vital for men's health, this non-invasive snapshot offers an immediate look at the internal tissue and blood flow. Changes in the testicular area may be associated with inflammation, benign growths, or vascular issues that benefit from early identification and monitoring.

$200

A urinary ultrasound screening performs a dual-organ survey of the kidneys and the bladder to evaluate the structural health of your renal system. This wellness check provides a real-time visual overview of the kidneys' size and shape while also inspecting the bladder for general wall health and the presence of internal debris. Unlike a clinical diagnostic exam, this screening does not include pre- or post-void volume measurements or formal recordings; it is a preventative snapshot designed to spot obvious abnormalities early.

Common reasons for this screening include a history of urinary tract infections (UTIs), lower back or "flank" discomfort, or a proactive interest in kidney stone detection. By viewing both organs together, the scan can identify signs of "sludge," visible stones, or unusual bladder wall thickening which can be an early indicator of irritation or obstruction. This non-invasive look helps you stay ahead of your urinary health without the need for a full medical workup.
