Ultrasound in Mijas and Fuengirola
An ultrasound is a simple, non-invasive diagnostic imaging test that makes it possible to obtain images from inside the body. It helps the medical professional assess organs, tissues and internal structures during a consultation.
This test uses ultrasound waves, which means it does not involve ionising radiation. It is comfortable, well tolerated by most patients and can be repeated when the doctor considers it necessary for follow-up.
At Clínica La Cala de Mijas, ultrasound is integrated into a broader medical assessment. We offer close, clear and personalised care, ideal for local and international patients who are looking to have this test carried out close to home.
¿When Is an Ultrasound Recommended?
An ultrasound does not replace a medical consultation. The doctor will assess your symptoms and medical history to determine whether this test can provide useful information in your specific case.
Abdominal and digestive scan
If you have abdominal pain or digestive discomfort, an ultrasound scan can help assess organs in this area when the doctor considers it medically appropriate.
Thyroid and neck scan review
If there are thyroid changes or concerns, a thyroid ultrasound can help study this area of the neck in greater detail when it is clinically indicated for you.
Muscle and joint scan review
For muscle pain, joint discomfort or an injury, ultrasound may help assess soft tissues and related structures when the doctor considers it clinically useful.
Vascular ultrasound check-up
When circulation needs to be assessed, a vascular ultrasound scan can provide supporting clinical information if the doctor considers it clinically indicated.
Preventive ultrasound checks
During a general health check-up, the doctor may use an ultrasound scan to complete the patient’s assessment when it adds useful clinical information overall.
Previous scan report reviews
If you have previous scans or reports, bring them to the consultation so the doctor can assess your progress and plan any necessary medical follow-up for you.
What an Ultrasound Can Contribute to a Medical Assessment
At Clínica La Cala de Mijas, an ultrasound scan is understood as a supporting tool, integrated into a wider medical assessment.
- Clinical diagnostic support:: The scan can complete the information gathered during the consultation and physical examination, helping the doctor support the diagnostic process.
- Non-invasive imaging review: It allows internal structures to be observed in a non-invasive way, adding clinical information that is not always clear through examination alone.
- Organ and tissue assessment:It can help assess the shape, size and features of the organs, tissues or structures being studied, depending on each patient’s own clinical needs.
- Previous findings follow-up: When earlier reports are available, ultrasound may help monitor previous findings and assess how they change, as part of ongoing medical follow-up.
- Complementary test guidance: Based on the ultrasound findings, the doctor may recommend further tests or an additional specialist assessment, when this is clinically necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ultrasound Consultations
What is an ultrasound scan?
An ultrasound scan is a diagnostic imaging test used to observe the inside of the body through ultrasound waves.
At Clínica La Cala de Mijas, we use ultrasound as a support tool within a medical assessment. The medical team performs and interprets the scan in consultation, always taking into account your symptoms, medical history and physical examination, rather than treating it as an isolated test.
Does an ultrasound scan use radiation?
No. Unlike other imaging tests, ultrasound creates images using ultrasound waves, not ionising radiation.
This makes it a well-tolerated test that the doctor can repeat when considered necessary for follow-up, including in patients for whom it may be advisable to limit other imaging techniques.
When should I have an ultrasound scan?
This is not a decision that should be made without medical guidance.
In our consultation, the doctor will assess your symptoms and medical history to decide whether an ultrasound scan can provide relevant information in your case. It may be useful for abdominal, muscular, thyroid or vascular concerns, always according to professional indication.
What types of ultrasound scans are carried out at Clínica La Cala de Mijas?
Ultrasound may be used to study different areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thyroid, musculoskeletal system or vascular system.
To confirm which test is most appropriate for your specific situation, the best option is to contact us directly. Our medical team will guide you.
Do I need an appointment for an ultrasound scan?
Yes. We work by appointment so that we can organise your care, reserve the necessary time and provide an assessment adapted to your needs.
You can request an appointment by phone, through the website form or by email. We will confirm the day and time quickly.
Can I bring previous reports or tests?
Of course, and we recommend that you do.
Bringing previous ultrasound scans, blood tests or medical reports helps the professional interpret your case more accurately and assess your progress over time. You can send them before your appointment or bring them with you on the day of the consultation.
Does an ultrasound scan hurt?
No. An ultrasound scan is a non-invasive test and is generally well tolerated.
It involves gently moving a probe over the skin in the area being studied, using a gel that helps ensure proper contact. If you feel any discomfort at any point, you can let us know during the test.
