Lowest advertised ultrasound price
The lowest figure the operator advertises for a diagnostic ultrasound, type unspecified. A floor; never put in a range.
This is not one bookable product, so no range is given. Each figure is named with exactly what it covers. Lowest published starting price: £175 (Vista Health).
| Operator | Figure and what it covers | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Oryon Imaging | From £295starting price As printed: “Ultrasound” | fee page read 5 October 2026 |
| Scan.com | From £180starting price As printed: “When you book a private Ultrasound with Scan.com, you'll receive a full, end-to-end package of care, starting from just £180.” — “£180” Stated in the page copy. The booking panel on the same page prints "£80-£180", a range spanning pregnancy and diagnostic scans, which is refused; Scan.com’s pregnancy scans start from £80, so this £180 is the floor for a non-pregnancy ultrasound. On the report: “Digital access to your radiologist's report, and the option to request copies of your images as required.” On the consultation: “Quick and easy referral process, with support from a dedicated expert clinician” | fee page read 5 October 2026 |
| Vista Health | From £175starting price As printed: “Ultrasound” — “£175” On the report: “All appointment prices include your reports and images (where relevant).” The same operator also prints From £150 for this scan elsewhere on its pages. Both are shown; neither is chosen for you. | fee page read 5 October 2026 |

Reading these prices
- Operators are listed alphabetically within each scan; the order is not a ranking.
- “Starting price” means the operator printed a “from” figure: the floor of its prices, not the price of a particular scan. Starting prices never enter a range.
- A range needs fixed prices from 4 operators for the same scan; the median uses one figure per operator.
- Operators checked: 360 Med, Cobalt Health, IUS London, London Private Ultrasound, Oryon Imaging, Practice Plus Group, Private Ultrasound Scans London, Scan.com, The Scan Clinic, Ultrasound Diagnostic Services and Vista Health. The full list, including those whose pages could not be read, is on the private scans hub.
Ultrasound scan on the NHS
NHS waiting times for an ultrasound scan, beside private hospital prices, are on the Ultrasound scan: NHS vs private page.
Prices only. Which scan you need, and whether you need one, is a clinical question for a doctor or the referring clinician. Some operators ask for a referral, or run their own clinical check, before a scan is booked. TreatCompare does not take bookings.
