Lymph Node Ultrasound in Kirti Nagar
High-Resolution Diagnostic Imaging for Swollen Glands in the Neck, Abdomen, and Inguinal Canal.
What is a Lymph Node Ultrasound?
A Lymph Node Ultrasound is a highly precise, non-invasive imaging scan used to evaluate the size, shape, and internal structure of swollen lymph nodes (glands). Lymph nodes are a crucial part of your immune system and often enlarge due to infections, viruses, tuberculosis (TB), or other underlying conditions. Whether you have discovered a lump in your neck (cervical), groin (inguinal), or your doctor suspects enlarged nodes in your stomach (mesenteric lymphadenopathy), this high-frequency scan provides immediate answers. Dr. Neeraj Sharma carefully assesses the blood flow and characteristics of the nodes to help your referring physician differentiate between benign reactive swelling and conditions requiring further medical treatment.
Lymph Node Scan: What We Evaluate
Using high-frequency ultrasound technology, Dr. Neeraj Sharma meticulously examines your lymph nodes to assess their size, shape, and internal blood flow in specific body regions:
Cervical Lymph Nodes
Detailed evaluation of swollen glands in the neck area, commonly associated with severe throat infections, viruses, or tuberculosis (TB).
Mesenteric Lymphadenopathy
Assessing enlarged lymph nodes inside the abdomen (stomach), which are frequently the hidden cause of unexplained, chronic abdominal pain or fever.
Inguinal Lymph Nodes
Accurately diagnosing painful lumps or swollen glands in the groin (inguinal canal) area to rule out infections, hernias, or other localized issues.
Structure & Vascularity
Crucial analysis of the node's internal structure and blood flow (using Color Doppler) to differentiate between simple reactive swelling and abnormal growths.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to fast before a lymph node ultrasound?
It depends on the area being scanned. For swollen lymph nodes in the neck (cervical) or groin (inguinal), no fasting or special preparation is required. However, if your doctor has recommended an abdominal lymph node scan (to check for mesenteric lymphadenopathy), you may be asked to fast for 4 to 6 hours before the appointment to reduce bowel gas and ensure clear images.
Will the ultrasound on my swollen glands hurt?
The ultrasound procedure itself is completely safe, radiation-free, and generally painless. Dr. Neeraj Sharma will apply a warm gel and gently move the probe over your skin. If your swollen lymph nodes are highly inflamed or infected, you might feel a very brief, mild tenderness when slight pressure is applied to get a clear image, but it is highly tolerable.
How long does a lymph node scan usually take?
The scan is highly targeted and quick. Evaluating lymph nodes in a specific region (like just the neck or just the groin) typically takes about 15 to 20 minutes. After the scan, the gel is wiped off, and you can immediately return to your normal daily routine without any downtime.
