Small Parts Sonography, also commonly called Local Sonography or Local Ultrasound, is a focused ultrasound examination used to closely assess a specific area of the body. Unlike a whole abdomen or pelvis scan, a local sonography focuses on the particular organ, lump, swelling or area where your doctor needs a detailed evaluation.
Depending on your symptoms and clinical requirement, it may be used to examine areas such as the thyroid and neck, breast, scrotum and testicles, skin and soft tissues, muscles, tendons and other superficial structures. It may be recommended when you notice a lump, swelling, pain or other unusual change in a particular area.
The examination uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of the area being assessed and is a non-invasive ultrasound procedure.

Thyroid ultrasound is commonly used to evaluate lumps, swelling, or hormonal enlargement of the thyroid gland. It helps diagnose thyroid nodules, goitre, thyroid cancer, and other neck masses quickly and safely.
Ultrasound imaging of salivary glands helps detect infections, stones, or tumors. Symptoms that may require scanning include facial swelling, persistent pain, numbness, or difficulty swallowing.
Small Parts Sonography is often the first-line investigation for superficial swellings or unusual lumps. It evaluates size, shape, and internal characteristics to determine the cause.
The scan requires no special preparation and is painless, quick, and radiation-free.
