Our Glasgow South clinic serves areas in the south of Glasgow such as Newton Mearns, Giffnock, Thornliebank, Eastwood, Shawlands and Barrhead. It is also accessible to adjacent suburbs and towns like Clarkston, Eaglesham, Busby and the rest of the south of Glasgow due to its central location within the suburban network of Glasgow.
Baby Scanning Glasgow South utilises the advanced GE Voluson E8 Expert ultrasound machine. Baby Scanning is the only clinic in Scotland to use this advanced machine.
When selecting a baby scanning clinic, it is recommended to inquire about the equipment used.
As our patient volumes are high and we operate 5 days/week we have always required the top end equipment for our Glasgow branch and Glasgow South (Newton Mearns) branch. We require an ultrasound system that enables us to deliver truly exceptional images, confidently and efficiently, every time. The GE Voluson E8 Expert ultrasound system is designed to keep pace with our busy clinics with ease and precision. The premium image quality of the GE Voluson E8 Expert combined with access to advanced capabilities, delivers a high level of performance.
