Ultrasound Scan for Children | Koshikaa

Safe, painless, and radiation-free imaging designed especially for your child — from newborns to teenagers.

At Koshikaa, we offer specialist paediatric ultrasound scans performed by experienced, child-friendly sonographers in a warm and reassuring environment. Because every child is different, our team is specifically trained to make the process comfortable, quick, and stress-free — for both your child and you.

What Is a Paediatric Ultrasound?

A paediatric ultrasound is a diagnostic imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of the internal organs, tissues, and blood vessels inside a child’s body. It involves no radiation, no needles, and no sedation — making it the safest and most preferred imaging method for children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers.

Why Is Ultrasound the Best Imaging Choice for Children?

Unlike X-rays or CT scans, ultrasound is uniquely suited for paediatric patients:

  • Zero radiation — completely safe, even for newborns and premature babies

  • No sedation needed — your child stays fully awake throughout

  • Painless and non-invasive — only gentle gel and transducer contact on the skin

  • Real-time imaging — captures organ movement, blood flow, and structure live

  • Parent can be present — you stay with your child throughout the scan

  • Quick results — scan completed in 15–30 minutes

  • Repeatable safely — multiple scans can be performed when medically needed without any risk

How to Prepare Your Child for the Scan

Preparation varies depending on the type of scan:

Abdominal Ultrasound:

  • Children over 3 years: fast for 3–4 hours before the scan (water is allowed)

  • Infants under 3 months: feed normally up to 1 hour before the scan

Kidney / Bladder Ultrasound:

  • Encourage your child to drink water 30–45 minutes before the scan and hold the urge to urinate — a full bladder gives clearer images

Hip Ultrasound (Infants):

  • No preparation needed — feed and dress your baby as normal

All Scans:

  • Dress your child in loose, comfortable, two-piece clothing for easy access

  • Bring a favourite toy, book, or small distraction to keep your child calm

  • Bring your doctor’s referral, previous reports, and your child’s health records

  • Arrive 10–15 minutes early to help your child settle

 

What Happens During the Scan?

Our team is trained to make every paediatric scan as calm and child-friendly as possible:

  1. Your child lies on a comfortable examination table — younger babies can sit in your arms

  2. A warm, safe gel is applied to the skin over the area being scanned

  3. Our sonographer gently moves the transducer over your child’s skin, capturing real-time images on screen

  4. You are welcome to stay with your child throughout the entire scan

  5. The scan takes 15–30 minutes depending on the area examined

  6. The gel is gently wiped away — your child can eat, drink, and play normally straight after

  7. A detailed report from our radiologist is ready within 2–4 hours

CT scans of the spine are conducted to assess the vertebrae, spinal cord, and surrounding soft tissues for conditions like herniated discs, spinal fractures, or spinal stenosis, aiding in the diagnosis and management of spinal disorders with detailed imaging essential for surgical planning and intervention.
CT scans of the pelvis are utilized to visualize the pelvic bones, reproductive organs, bladder, and surrounding structures for conditions such as fractures, tumors, or pelvic inflammatory disease, guiding treatment plans and surgical interventions with precise anatomical information.
CT scans of the neck are performed to evaluate structures such as the throat, thyroid gland, lymph nodes, and blood vessels for abnormalities like tumors, infections, or injuries, assisting in diagnosis and management of head and neck disorders with detailed imaging.
CT scans of the extremities are employed to assess bones, joints, and soft tissues in the arms or legs, aiding in the diagnosis of fractures, arthritis, or other musculoskeletal conditions, guiding orthopedic treatment and rehabilitation plans for optimal recovery.
CT scans of the chest are utilized to examine the lungs, heart, blood vessels, and surrounding structures for conditions such as lung nodules, pneumonia, or pulmonary embolism, facilitating accurate diagnosis and management of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.
CT scans of the brain are conducted to assess brain structures, identify abnormalities like tumors, hemorrhages, or strokes, and aid in diagnosing neurological conditions, guiding neurosurgical interventions and treatment strategies with precise imaging of the brain’s anatomy.
CT scans of the abdomen are performed to visualize and evaluate the internal organs such as the liver, kidneys, pancreas, and intestines for conditions like tumors, infections, or injuries, providing detailed images essential for diagnosis and treatment planning.
Transplant organ ultrasound scans, including those of the liver, kidney, or pancreas, are performed to assess organ viability, detect complications, and monitor post-transplant function. These scans play a vital role in the early detection of issues such as organ rejection, vascular complications, or fluid collections, guiding timely interventions and optimizing transplant outcomes for patients.
Ultrasound examinations of organs such as the liver, kidney, or prostate are crucial for assessing organ structure, detecting abnormalities, and monitoring disease progression. These scans help diagnose conditions such as liver cirrhosis, kidney stones, or prostate enlargement, guiding treatment decisions and monitoring response to therapy over time.
Ultrasound scans are valuable for detecting cysts or fluid collections within the body, including cysts in the liver, kidneys, or other organs. These scans help characterize the nature and size of cysts, aiding in diagnosis and treatment planning for conditions such as cystic liver disease or renal cysts, and guiding interventions such as cyst drainage or sclerotherapy.
