Frequently Asked Questions
What is an ultrasound used for?
At Honolulu Urgent Care, ultrasounds are versatile diagnostic tools that help us assess various medical conditions. They utilize high-frequency sound waves to create images of internal body structures. Common uses include:
- Abdominal issues: Evaluating organs like the liver, gallbladder, kidneys, and pancreas.
- Pelvic concerns: Assessing reproductive organs and urinary structures.
- Pregnancy monitoring: Tracking fetal development and health.
- Vascular assessments: Checking blood flow in arteries and veins.
- Musculoskeletal evaluations: Examining muscles, tendons, and joints for injuries.
Ultrasounds are non-invasive, safe, and provide real-time imaging, aiding in prompt and accurate diagnoses.
What's the difference between an ultrasound and a sonogram?
The terms “ultrasound” and “sonogram” are often used interchangeably, but they refer to different aspects:
- Ultrasound: The procedure or technology that uses sound waves to produce images of the inside of the body.
- Sonogram: The actual image or result produced from an ultrasound examination.
In essence, an ultrasound is the process, and a sonogram is the outcome of that process.

Honolulu County Walk-In Ultrasound Appointments – No Referrals Needed

We make it simple for you to get the care you need. Our outpatient ultrasound services are available to adults and children with no referral required. Honolulu Urgent Care helps with everything from pregnancy checks and thyroid imaging to joint pain assessments and DVT screening — all in a comfortable, walk-in setting.
Abdominal Ultrasound
Our abdominal ultrasound helps evaluate organs like the liver, gallbladder, kidneys, and pancreas. It’s a non-invasive way to check for inflammation, blockages, or fluid build-up. Whether you’re experiencing ongoing stomach pain or sudden discomfort, this medical imaging test helps us detect problems early and guide treatment quickly.
Pelvic Ultrasound
Pelvic ultrasound offers a clear view of the bladder and reproductive organs. It’s often used to investigate pelvic pain, irregular periods, or issues like ovarian cysts or uterine fibroids. We provide both transabdominal and transvaginal options depending on your needs, ensuring accurate, real-time imaging in a private setting.
Pregnancy Ultrasound (Obstetric)
We offer same-day pregnancy ultrasound to monitor early fetal development and ensure everything is progressing as expected. Our obstetric ultrasound provides peace of mind to expecting families by checking for heartbeat, growth, and placement. Whether it’s a first check or a follow-up, we’re here to support you every step.
Vascular Ultrasound
Vascular ultrasound allows us to check blood flow in arteries and veins. It’s commonly used for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) screening or to look for circulation issues in the legs. This soft tissue imaging test is fast, painless, and can catch problems before they become more serious.
Musculoskeletal (MSK) Ultrasound
If you’re dealing with joint pain, tendon injuries, or muscle strain, MSK ultrasound can help. This type of ultrasound imaging looks at ligaments, tendons, and soft tissues in real-time, helping guide treatment decisions and even assist with joint injections or fluid aspirations if needed.
Thyroid Ultrasound
A thyroid ultrasound helps us evaluate the size, shape, and structure of your thyroid gland. It’s used to check for nodules, enlargement, or other irregularities. This outpatient ultrasound is especially useful for ongoing thyroid monitoring or as a follow-up after abnormal blood work or physical findings.
Testicular Ultrasound
This focused medical diagnostic exam helps identify swelling, pain, or lumps in the testicles or scrotum. It’s commonly used to detect infections, injuries, or torsion. Our team provides fast, discreet testicular ultrasound evaluations to help you get the answers you need in a respectful environment.
Bladder Scan / Post-Void Residual Measurement
This simple and fast imaging test checks how much urine remains in the bladder after using the restroom. It’s helpful for diagnosing urinary retention or incomplete bladder emptying. We use non-invasive ultrasound to measure volume accurately, which supports treatment for common urinary and prostate issues.
We also provide additional ultrasound exams beyond those mentioned here, depending on your symptoms and clinical needs. Our Honolulu Urgent Care team is happy to guide you through your options and make sure you’re receiving the right care for your situation.
