Important: The figures above are general market ranges observed across diagnostic centres in Pakistan, published so you know what to expect before you call. They are not a Chughtai Lab price list. For the exact Chughtai Lab ultrasound price, fees and charges for your prescribed scan, call 03-111-456-789 - prices depend on the exact study your doctor has requested.
When you call, keep your prescription with you and read out the exact scan name your doctor has written - for example "USG whole abdomen", "TVS", "anomaly scan" or "penile Doppler". This gets you an accurate quote in one call.
Why ultrasound prices vary so much
Patients often see ultrasound quotes ranging from Rs. 1,500 to Rs. 10,000 and wonder why the difference is so large. Four real factors drive the price:
- Type and detail of the study. A routine abdominal scan is quicker and simpler than a detailed anomaly scan, which systematically examines every organ system of a developing baby and takes far longer to perform and report.
- Doppler adds complexity. Doppler studies measure blood flow, not just structure. They need more advanced equipment settings, more scanning time and specialised interpretation - which is why a Doppler ultrasound price is higher than a plain scan of the same region.
- Who performs and reports it. Scans performed and reported by consultant radiologists cost more than scans at centres without specialist reporting - and the quality difference shows in diagnostic accuracy.
- City and facility. The same scan can be priced differently in Lahore, Karachi or Rawalpindi, and between hospital-based and standalone centres.
This is why a price you saw online for one centre may not apply to the scan your doctor actually ordered. Always quote the exact scan name when asking for the price.
What is an ultrasound (USG / sonography)?
An ultrasound - also called sonography or USG - is a painless, radiation-free imaging test that uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of the inside of your body. A small handheld probe (transducer) is moved over the skin with a water-based gel, and the returning echoes are converted into live images on a screen.
The frequency of the sound waves is beyond the threshold of human hearing, so you cannot hear them during the scan. Because ultrasound does not use ionizing radiation, it is the standard, safest imaging method for observing an unborn child during pregnancy - and it is equally valuable for examining the liver, kidneys, pelvis, blood vessels, thyroid, breast, muscles and joints.
Ultrasound is also used in real time to guide procedures such as biopsies, aspirations and drainages, allowing the doctor to see exactly where the needle is at every moment - which adds precision and safety.
Ultrasound test names and common spellings
The ultrasound test is written and searched under many names and abbreviations. All of the following refer to ultrasound imaging:
| Name / abbreviation | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Ultrasound / Ultra sound | The standard name - both spellings are common |
| USG | Ultrasonography - the abbreviation used on most prescriptions |
| Sonography | The formal name for ultrasound imaging - same test |
| TVS / EVS | Transvaginal / endovaginal sonography - an internal pelvic scan |
| Obs scan | Obstetric scan - a pregnancy ultrasound |
| Anomaly scan | The detailed 18 - 22 week pregnancy ultrasound |
| Doppler / colour Doppler | An ultrasound study of blood flow in vessels |
| KUB ultrasound | Kidneys, ureters and bladder scan |
| 3D / 4D ultrasound | Three-dimensional still images (3D) or live 3D video (4D) - "5D" is a newer marketing term for enhanced 4D imaging |
If your prescription says "USG", "sonography" or any of the names above, it refers to the ultrasound services described on this page.

Our ultrasound & Doppler services
We offer a wide spectrum of ultrasound examinations, tailored to meet specific diagnostic needs:
- General Abdomen & Pelvis Ultrasound: An examination of organs like the liver, kidneys, pancreas, spleen, and bladder. A "whole abdomen" study combines the upper abdomen and pelvis into one comprehensive examination - commonly ordered for general checkups or when the source of abdominal symptoms is unclear.
- Obstetric/Pregnancy Ultrasound: From early pregnancy scans to detailed anomaly scans, we provide comprehensive services for expectant mothers.
- Gynaecology/Endovaginal Ultrasound: Specialised scans for the uterus, ovaries, and other reproductive organs, including TVS (transvaginal sonography).
- Doppler Ultrasound: A key service for examining blood flow and blood vessels. This includes specialised studies for penile Doppler ultrasound and other vascular conditions.
- Urological Ultrasound: Includes scans of the prostate, bladder, and kidneys (KUB ultrasound), as well as scrotal and testicular studies.
- Breast Ultrasound: A radiation-free examination of breast tissue, often used alongside a mammogram for complete breast assessment, and preferred as the first test for younger patients.
- Thyroid & Neck Ultrasound: Evaluates the thyroid gland for nodules, cysts and enlargement, and examines neck swellings and lymph nodes.
- Liver Ultrasound & FibroScan: Standard liver ultrasound assesses fatty liver and liver structure. FibroScan (liver elastography) is a separate specialised test for liver stiffness - call 03-111-456-789 to confirm FibroScan availability and price.
- Musculoskeletal (MSK) Ultrasound: For diagnosing issues in muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints.
- Biopsies/Aspirations/Drainage Procedures: Ultrasound-guided procedures for added precision and safety.
Pregnancy ultrasound - anomaly scan, growth scan and dating scan
Pregnancy (obstetric) ultrasound is not a single test - different scans are performed at different stages, each answering different questions:
| Scan | When it is done | What it checks |
|---|---|---|
| Early pregnancy / dating scan | 6 - 12 weeks | Confirms the pregnancy and heartbeat, estimates the due date |
| Anomaly scan | 18 - 22 weeks | A detailed structural survey of the baby - brain, heart, spine, limbs and organs - to detect abnormalities |
| Growth scan | Third trimester | Monitors the baby's growth, position, fluid levels and placenta |
| Doppler in pregnancy | As advised | Checks blood flow to the baby through the umbilical cord and placenta |
The anomaly scan is the most detailed pregnancy ultrasound and takes longer than a routine scan, which is reflected in its price. It is one of the most searched scans in Pakistan - if your doctor has advised an anomaly scan, book it in the 18 to 22 week window so nothing is missed.
Regarding 3D, 4D and "5D" ultrasound: 3D produces still three-dimensional images of the baby, 4D adds live motion, and "5D" is a marketing term for enhanced 4D imaging. These are optional bonding scans rather than a medical requirement - call 03-111-456-789 to confirm availability of 3D/4D imaging at the centre nearest to you.
TVS / endovaginal ultrasound - what is it?
TVS (transvaginal sonography), also called endovaginal ultrasound, is a scan in which a thin probe is gently placed inside the vagina to obtain much clearer images of the uterus, ovaries and early pregnancy than an ordinary external pelvic scan can provide.
Doctors commonly advise TVS for irregular periods, pelvic pain, ovarian cysts, fibroids, endometrial (uterine lining) assessment and confirmation of early pregnancy. The scan takes a few minutes, and while it may feel unfamiliar, it should not be painful. Your privacy and comfort are our top priorities - the procedure is performed by trained staff in a professional, private environment.
Doppler ultrasound - colour Doppler, scrotal and penile Doppler
A Doppler ultrasound examines blood flow, not just structure. It shows whether blood vessels are open, narrowed or blocked, and how well blood is reaching an organ. Chughtai Lab offers the full range of Doppler studies:
- Colour Doppler: Maps blood flow in colour over the standard image - used for veins and arteries of the legs and arms (including DVT assessment), the neck, and organs.
- Doppler in pregnancy: Assesses blood flow through the umbilical cord and placenta when the baby's growth needs closer monitoring.
- Scrotal Doppler: Examines the testes and scrotum blood flow - commonly advised for pain, swelling, suspected varicocele or torsion.
- Penile Doppler ultrasound: A specialised study of penile blood flow, most often advised in the assessment of erectile dysfunction. This is a routine medical study performed professionally and discreetly by our radiology team.
Because Doppler studies need more scanning time and specialised interpretation, the Doppler ultrasound price is higher than a plain scan of the same area - see the price table above for typical ranges.
HSG test - is it an ultrasound?
No - an HSG is not an ultrasound. An HSG (hysterosalpingogram) is an X-ray dye test that checks whether the fallopian tubes are open, commonly used in fertility assessment. A special dye is passed through the cervix while X-ray images are taken in the radiology department. Some centres also offer an ultrasound-based alternative (saline sonography / HyCoSy).
If your doctor has advised an HSG test, it is performed in the radiology department rather than the ultrasound room, and its price is separate from ultrasound pricing. To confirm HSG availability and price at Chughtai Lab, call 03-111-456-789 - and see our digital X-ray services for other X-ray based studies.
How to prepare - fasting and full bladder explained
Preparation depends on the scan type. The two instructions patients most often receive are:
| Scan type | Preparation required |
|---|---|
| Abdominal / whole abdomen / liver / gallbladder | Fast for a few hours before the scan (water is allowed) so the gallbladder is visible and bowel gas is reduced |
| Pelvic ultrasound (including pregnancy and urinary system) | Drink water to fill your bladder before the scan and do not urinate - a full bladder pushes bowel loops aside and gives a clear view |
| TVS / endovaginal | Usually needs an empty bladder - the opposite of an external pelvic scan |
| Doppler, thyroid, breast, MSK, scrotal | No special preparation needed |
You might need to drink water to fill your bladder before a pelvic ultrasound, including one performed during pregnancy or a urinary system ultrasound. For an abdominal ultrasound, you might need to modify your diet or fast for a few hours before the test. Your doctor will inform you about any specific preparations needed, and Chughtai Lab staff will give you exact instructions when you book your appointment.
Is ultrasound safe?
Ultrasound does not use ionizing radiation, and there are no known health risks associated with it when used properly by qualified sonographers. Ultrasound is safer than X-rays because it doesn't use ionizing radiation - which is exactly why it is the most popular medical imaging technique for observing an unborn child during pregnancy.
The scan is painless. You will feel only the light pressure of the probe and the coolness of the gel. The sound waves themselves are beyond the threshold of human hearing, so they are not audible to you.
Who performs and reports your ultrasound?
If you are searching for an "ultrasound specialist near me", here is what matters: an ultrasound is only as good as the person performing and interpreting it. At Chughtai Lab, ultrasound examinations are carried out and reported by certified, experienced radiologists - doctors who specialise in medical imaging - supported by trained sonologists and sonography staff.
Specialist reporting matters most in studies where interpretation is difficult: anomaly scans, Doppler studies, and small-organ imaging like thyroid and scrotal scans. This specialist review is a key reason patients and physicians across Pakistan refer imaging to Chughtai Lab, and it is reflected in the diagnostic quality of every report we issue.

Ultrasound vs X-ray, CT scan and MRI
Doctors choose between imaging tests based on what needs to be seen. Here is how ultrasound compares:
| Feature | Ultrasound | X-ray | CT / MRI |
|---|---|---|---|
| Radiation | None | Low dose | CT: yes / MRI: none |
| Best for | Soft organs, blood flow, pregnancy | Bones, chest | Detailed cross-sections, brain, spine |
| Real-time imaging | Yes - live | No | No |
| Typical cost | Lowest | Low | Highest |
| Safe in pregnancy | Yes - standard | Avoided | MRI: yes / CT: avoided |
Ultrasound is often the first-line test because it is safe, quick and affordable. When more detail is needed, your doctor may follow it with a CT scan or an MRI scan - both also available at Chughtai Lab's radiology department.
