What is an Ultrasound Upper Arm Right?
Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves — no radiation and no injections — to produce real-time images of soft tissues and organs.
An Ultrasound Upper Arm Right allows your radiologist to examine:
- Muscles of the upper arm (biceps, triceps, deltoid)
- Tendons connecting muscles to bone
- Ligaments around the shoulder and elbow joints
- Blood vessels (arteries and veins) in the upper arm
- Nerves
- Soft tissues such as fat and fascia
Ultrasound is safe, painless, and radiation-free — making it a first-line investigation for many conditions of the upper arm right.

What can an Ultrasound Upper Arm Right detect?
Ultrasound is highly effective in detecting:
- The appearance of muscle fibres and any signs of damage or tearing
- Tendons for inflammation, tears, or thickening
- Fluid collections or swelling in the soft tissues
- The presence of lumps or masses within the soft tissues
- Changes in the appearance of nerves
- Assessment of blood flow within the arteries and veins

Frequently asked questions
What happens during an upper arm ultrasound?
A small probe will be moved over your upper arm, coated with a warm, water-based gel. The probe sends sound waves into your body, and the returning echoes create images on a screen. It's painless and usually takes around 15-30 minutes.
How soon will I get my results?
Your scan images will be reviewed by a UK-certified Consultant Radiologist. You will typically receive your detailed report within 72 hours. You can access your report and images via our secure online patient portal.
Do I need a referral from my GP?
No, you do not need a referral from your GP. You can self-refer and book your private ultrasound scan directly with MyScanHub.
How quickly can I get a scan?
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.
Do I need a GP referral?
No — MyScanHub accepts self-referral for most scans. Our consultant radiologists review every case. Some scans (e.g. contrast studies) do need a referring clinician; we'll let you know at booking.

Written reports from a GMC-registered consultant radiologist are delivered within 72 hours of your scan, often sooner. You can access the report — and the imaging — through your patient account on portal.myscanhub.com.
