What is an Ultrasound Hip Right?
Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves — no radiation and no injections — to produce real-time images of soft tissues and organs.
An Ultrasound Hip Right allows your radiologist to examine:
- Muscles and tendons around the hip joint
- Ligaments supporting the hip
- Fluid collections or swelling
- Bursae (fluid-filled sacs that cushion joints)
- The bony surfaces of the hip joint
- Blood flow within structures (using Doppler ultrasound if needed)
Ultrasound is safe, painless, and radiation-free — making it a first-line investigation for many conditions of the hip right.

Symptoms that may warrant an Ultrasound Hip Right
This scan may be advised if you are experiencing any of the following:
- Pain in the right hip or groin area
- Stiffness or reduced movement in the hip joint
- Swelling or tenderness around the hip
- A feeling of instability or clicking in the hip
- Following an injury or trauma to the hip
- Monitoring a known hip condition
- Pain that affects your ability to walk or bear weight
What can an Ultrasound Hip Right detect?
Ultrasound is highly effective in detecting:
- The appearance of tendons and muscles, looking for signs of inflammation or tears
- The presence of fluid or swelling within the joint capsule
- Inflammation or irritation of the bursae
- Certain bony irregularities or surface changes
- The appearance of soft tissues around the hip
- Assessing the extent of known injuries or conditions
Preparing for your Ultrasound Hip Right
On the day of your scan:
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to your right hip.
- No special dietary preparation is needed for this scan.
- You do not need to have a full bladder for a hip ultrasound.
- Arrive a few minutes early to complete any necessary paperwork.
Please notify the team if:
- If you have any broken skin, infection, or an open wound over the area to be scanned.
- If you have a known latex allergy.
- If you are pregnant or suspect you might be pregnant (though ultrasound is safe, it's always good practice to inform us).
- Any recent changes or concerns about your hip that you haven't already discussed.

Frequently asked questions
Is an ultrasound of the right hip safe?
Yes, ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves and is completely safe, involving no ionising radiation. It is a non-invasive procedure using a small probe and warm gel.
How long does a hip ultrasound take?
The scan itself typically takes around 15-20 minutes, though your appointment may be slightly longer to allow for preparation and reporting.
When will I get my results?
Your images will be reviewed by a UK-certified Consultant Radiologist. You will typically receive your report within 72 hours via your secure online patient portal. You can view, download, and share your results, and can also request a copy be sent to your GP.

Most MRI, ultrasound, and X-ray scans at MyScanHub can be booked same-day or next-day. Walk-in slots are available for X-rays most weekdays.
