Product
Endoscan Health combines specialist transvaginal ultrasound, consultant review and AI-supported report preparation in a bookable London diagnostic pathway. Patients can self-refer for a 45-minute scan, receive expert interpretation and typically receive a clinical report the same day.
Direct access to specialist scans
Patients book without a GP referral at Westminster Women's Clinic in London. An approximately 45-minute appointment includes consultation, consent and ultrasound performed by a clinician with endometriosis expertise.
Consultant review and care guidance
A consultant gynaecologist reviews the scan findings. The clinician discusses the results and recommends next steps, including treatment referral or further investigation where appropriate.
AI-assisted report preparation
Clinicians use AI tools to help prepare the diagnostic report, which includes scan images. Ultrasound videos are stored in UK-based cloud infrastructure, and use of imaging data for AI training requires explicit patient consent.
Market Overview
Specialist endometriosis imaging sits within the diagnostic ultrasound services market. Patients need access to trained clinicians who can identify disease and guide onward care. NICE recommends transvaginal ultrasound for suspected endometriosis and specialist imaging to assess deep disease, creating a defined role in the diagnostic pathway.
In the UK, patients can pay private clinics directly for specialist scans, while NHS services provide publicly funded imaging. Specialist providers publish per-scan prices and separate consultation charges. This market is shaped by clinical expertise, referral access and appointment capacity, not simply the number of people living with endometriosis.
NHS patients received 11.84 million ultrasound tests in England between April 2025 and March 2026.
Ultragyn lists £390 for pelvic endometriosis mapping; a consultation fee may apply separately.
A 2025 online survey of 3,075 UK patients measured time from the first GP visit with symptoms to diagnosis.
WHO estimates endometriosis affects 190 million reproductive-age women worldwide.
