You will need a doctor’s referral for all targeted diagnostic ultrasounds. However, our Whole-Body Ultrasound Assessment (Prevention & Longevity) does not require a referral, as it is a specialized assessment overseen by our own medical experts.
The short answer is yes. Ultrasound is highly effective at detecting solid tumors, cysts, and masses in major organs at early stages. While it is a powerful tool for proactive health, it is intended to complement, not replace, traditional screenings like colonoscopies or mammograms.
Both are radiation-free. While MRI excels at imaging the brain and spine, Ultrasound is superior for “dynamic” imaging (viewing blood flow real-time). Many patients have a hard time tolerating the very restricted space and the noise during MRI. Echo2Go is also much more affordable and offers the convenience of a mobile service that comes to your door.
We currently serve the Greater Montreal Area including Laval, Longueuil, South Shore, West Island. Before booking, it is mandatory that you verify your postal code eligibility using our dedicated tool on the main page.

You’ll get results within 72 hours. If a physician requested the scan, we’ll send results directly to their office first. The results will then also be added to your Echo2Go portal a few days later to allow your doctor to consult them first, as required by law.

If you were referred by a physician (the case for all diagnostic ultrasounds), yes — they will receive your report first. Otherwise, you’ll receive it first and can choose how to proceed.
