Appointments & your visit
Plan your exam and arrive prepared.
What ultrasound exams do you offer?
HRU provides abdominal, vascular and venous, cardiac, obstetric, pelvic, thyroid and small-parts ultrasound, along with screening programs. View our services or contact us to confirm the exam you need.
Where are you located, and how do I schedule?
Our imaging center is at 1015 Eden Way N, Suite D, Chesapeake, VA 23320. Call 757-575-5460 for scheduling, preparation instructions and any referral requirements. You can also contact our team with appointment questions.
How should I prepare for my exam?
Preparation depends on the exam. Some studies require fasting or a full bladder. Follow the specific instructions HRU gives you when scheduling, and call before your visit if anything is unclear.
How long will my exam take, and what should I expect?
Many exams take about 10–30 minutes; more detailed studies may take longer, sometimes up to 90 minutes. Ask about the expected time for your appointment. For most external scans, a credentialed sonographer applies gel and moves a probe over the area being examined. Let us know about discomfort or positioning needs.
Pricing & payment
Affordable care is part of our community commitment.
Do you offer affordable self-pay options?
Yes. We have intentionally kept our prices low to serve our community. Contact our team for the current price of your exam and an explanation of what is included.
Can my exam be billed to insurance?
Please contact HRU before scheduling to confirm the arrangements for your specific exam and insurance plan. We can also discuss self-pay pricing and any paperwork needed for your appointment.
Results & privacy
Understand your report and find the right support.
How do I receive my results and access my report?
Your images are interpreted by a physician, and a report is shared with your clinician. Ask HRU about the expected reporting time and secure access to your report or images. For help with patient portal access or a report request, contact our team. Your clinician can explain the findings and any next steps.
Will an ultrasound tell me if I have cancer?
Ultrasound can help evaluate a lump or other abnormality, but imaging alone may not establish a cancer diagnosis. Your clinician may recommend additional imaging, specialist assessment or a biopsy to clarify a finding.
How is my medical information handled?
HRU uses secure imaging and reporting systems to support patient care. Our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices explains how health information may be used and shared, along with information about your privacy rights and whom to contact with questions.

Imaging support beyond our center.
