Clear answers for neck and gland concerns
We carry out neck ultrasound scans for the thyroid gland, cervical lymph nodes and salivary glands when you need clearer answers about swelling, lumps or ongoing symptoms. These scans can help support investigations linked to endocrine concerns, ENT symptoms and oncology follow-ups, giving your GP or consultant useful imaging to review.
A neck scan is often used when a lump feels new, a gland seems enlarged, or a nodule needs a closer look without delay, providing an excellent companion to our standard musculoskeletal and soft tissue ultrasound for structural lumps. We focus on accurate characterisation, because knowing the size, position and appearance of an area can help shape the next step in your care.
Lunascan Limited keeps the process calm and straightforward for you from the moment you arrive in Newark. Our clinic gives you access to private ultrasound imaging that is focused, professional and easier to arrange around a busy week.
Great service! Easy to book on line, clean professional premises. All the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Clifford, who did the scan was very thorough and easy to get on with. He provided a detailed report which has led me to book in and see a consultant privately. Visit this clinic !!

What your scan can help investigate
Our imaging is designed to look closely at structures in the neck that may be linked to thyroid disease, enlarged lymph nodes or salivary gland swelling. That matters when symptoms have lingered, when a lump has changed, or when you have been asked to arrange further imaging after a clinical review. We assess the area in real time, which helps us examine shape, texture and surrounding anatomy during your appointment.
If you are already under a GP, ENT specialist or consultant, the scan can add useful detail to your diagnostic pathway, matching the tailored standards found in our specialist and custom ultrasound sessions. we provide these appointments in Newark with a supportive, patient-focused approach.
Neck, thyroid and salivary gland ultrasound
High-resolution ultrasound evaluation of superficial neck structures to investigate endocrine conditions, palpable lumps, or soft tissue changes. This includes the thyroid, salivary glands, lymph nodes, and general neck masses — ideal for endocrine, ENT, or oncology-related concerns.
Thyroid gland ultrasound
High-resolution assessment of the soft tissues and glands within the neck. These specialist scans support the investigation of endocrine health, persistent lumps, and throat or jaw-related concerns. Thyroid Gland Ultrasound A detailed evaluation of the thyroid’s size, shape, and structure. This scan is used to identify thyroid nodules and differentiate between various causes of neck swelling, such as a goitre or inflammation (Hashimoto’s). We use standard clinical classifications to ensure our reports provide your GP or consultant with a clear, professional pathway for your care.
£190
Ideal for: Thyroid dysfunction, visible neck swelling, or monitoring known nodules.
Salivary glands (Parotid, submandibular, and Sublingual)
A focused assessment of the major salivary glands, including the parotid and submandibular glands. We check for common issues such as salivary stones, duct blockages, or inflammation. This is particularly helpful for patients experiencing "mealtime syndrome"—pain or swelling that triggers specifically when eating or drinking.
£190
Ideal for: Pain or swelling while eating, dry mouth, or persistent lumps near the jaw or ears.
Cervical lymph node assessment
A structured evaluation of the lymph nodes within the neck. This scan helps distinguish between "reactive" nodes (often caused by a recent cold or infection) and those that may require more urgent investigation. We assess the shape and internal structure of the nodes to provide a high level of diagnostic reassurance.
£190
Ideal for: New or persistent neck lumps, following a recent infection, or unexplained swelling.
Neck mass / soft tissue ultrasound
A high-resolution check of any unexplained swellings on the neck or face. This scan identifies the nature of common lumps, such as lipomas (fatty lumps) or skin-related cysts. It is an excellent first step in deciding whether a lump is benign or if a specialist ENT referral is needed.
£190
Ideal for: Superficial lumps, facial swellings, or masses following an injury.
