Ultrasound Test Price in Bangladesh
If you are looking for an ultrasound test in Bangladesh, the cost is one of the first questions. In private diagnostic centers and hospitals, common ultrasound scans typically range from BDT 800 to 2,500. However, prices are not fixed — they depend on where you go, what body part is scanned, and whether the radiologist’s interpretation is included. Public hospitals charge much less (around BDT 200–500) but often require longer waiting periods. Because prices can change without notice, always confirm with the facility before booking.
What Affects the Price of an Ultrasound in Bangladesh?
Several factors cause price differences across Bangladesh:
- City vs. rural location: Diagnostic centers in Dhaka, Chittagong, and other large cities tend to charge slightly higher than those in smaller towns due to higher operatingcosts.
- Public vs. private facility: Government hospitals and medical college hospitals offer subsidized rates, while private labs and corporate hospitals set market rates.
- Machine type and technology: A standard 2D ultrasound is least expensive. 3D/4D scans, Doppler studies, or high-resolution machines cost more.
- Inclusion of doctor’s report: Some centers quote a price that covers only the scanning procedure; the written report and interpretation by a radiologist may be extra (BDT 200–500). Others include the report in a higher package.
- Lab reputation and equipment quality: Well-known diagnostic chains with modern equipment and accredited radiologists often charge a premium compared to smaller local labs.

Typical Ultrasound Cost Ranges by Type
The table below gives approximate price ranges for the most common ultrasound scans in private diagnostic centers across Bangladesh. These are not fixed — prices vary and should be verified directly with the facility.
| Type of Ultrasound | Approx. BDT Range | Typical Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Abdomen (whole abdomen) | 900–2,200 | Often includes liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys. Report may be extra. |
| Pelvis (female or male) | 800–2,000 | Used for bladder, uterus, ovaries, prostate. Price similar to abdomen. |
| Obstetric / Pregnancy (2D) | 800–1,800 | First-trimester dating or growth scan. 3D/4D costs more (1,500–3,000). | 700–1,500 | Focused neck scan. Often cheaper than whole abdomen. |
| Breast ultrasound | 800–2,000 | Often done bilaterally. May include lymph node assessment. |
| Doppler / Vascular ultrasound | 1,200–2,800 | Assesses blood flow. Higher cost due to specialized technique. |
Important: These are approximate ranges for private labs in Dhaka and large cities. Prices in district towns may be 10–20% lower. Public hospital charges are significantly lower (often BDT 200–500) but may require a referral.
Does the Price Include the Radiologist’s Report?
This is a common point of confusion. Many diagnostic centers quote a price that covers only the technical scan (the image acquisition). The radiologist then reviews the images and produces a written report — this interpretation step may be charged separately, usually between BDT 200 and 500. Some centers include the report in a higher all-inclusive fee. Always ask: “Does the quoted price include the radiologist’s written report?” If not, factor in the extra cost.
Public vs. Private Facilities: Cost Differences
Public hospitals (such as Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Mugda Hospital, or upazila health complexes) offer ultrasound scans at highly subsidized rates — often BDT 200 to 500. However, these services may have longer wait times, limited appointment slots, and less flexible scheduling. Private diagnostic centers charge more (BDT 800–2,500) but typically provide faster service, appointment booking by phone, and quicker report delivery. The choice depends on your budget and urgency.
