Small-Parts ultrasound refers to the application of medical ultrasound to assess the superficial organs of the body, such as; the thyroid gland, the neck, the breast and the testes, as well as being used to assess the blood vessels that accompany the organs.The small-Parts ultrasound examination is performed to evaluate the organs and look for signs of disease.
The common uses of small parts ultrasound is to investigate:
-
Thyroid: Ultrasound is used to assess a palpable or visible lump or an enlargement of the thyroid gland following a clinical examination. Ultrasound is used to assess disease and look for nodules inside or outside the thyroid gland and determine whether it is a cyst or a soft tissue.
-
Testes: Ultrasound is used to assess abnormalities of the scrotum and is the first choice investigation for diagnosis in this area. It is generally used when a patient presents with a pain or lump in the scrotum, an un-descended testicle, inflammation, a twisted testicle or fluid collection.

Without Beehive Solutions a typically qualified sonographer can expect to earn £40,000-46000 pounds per annum.
On top of this would be 11% national insurance contributions plus enhancements for overtime, weekends and pension contributions.
There is also the need to cover annual leave and sickness which would require a locum sonographer or a reduction in the service level.
This would dramatically increase the actual costs of employing a sonographer and that is before actually finding a suitable candidate.
