Ultrasound investigation

Ultrasound or sonography is used to examine the abdominal area (gallbladder, liver, pancreas, kidneys), neck area, blood vessels and blood flow, muscles and joints. The need for an ultrasound investigation is usually decided by a physician, but in the case of health concerns and for peace of mind, you can come for an investigation at your own request without a referral.

You need to book in advance for the investigation.

• If you have a referral from your general practitioner, please call 1330 to book an appointment  or e-mail  info@confido.ee and inform customer service of the referral. With a referral from your general practitioner, you are only required to pay a deductible of  5 €.
• Paid-for ultrasound investigations are available for booking directly on the online-system, but in this case the patient must cover the cost of the procedure.

Please note! We do not perform ultrasound investigations on mammary glands and fingers. Investigations on limb arteries are performed only based on a referral from a specialist physician (ultrasound investigations on peripheral arteries will not be performed based on a referral from your general practitioner). 

The service is available for children aged 15 and older.

Test results will be assessed by a radiologist and a response will be sent to the referring physician. Upon request, we can provide you with an USB carrier containing the test images and appropriate software (for an additional fee of €25).

Before the investigation

• Please examine the ultrasound investigation leaflet!!
• Do not eat for 3-4 hours before the investigation.
• You may take your daily medicinal products.
• Your bladder must be full (an empty bladder cannot be assessed).
