Ecografía lumbar

Medical (general)
Hello
I need to say someone is due for a "ecografía lumbar" in English.
(It is a follow up exam for thyroid cancer).
Is it an "ultrasound","sonography", or what other English word should I use?
If it helps, I'd prefer UK English.
Thanks

ultrasound/sonogram of the lumbar spine
Many, many references for 'ultrasound of the lumbar spine"; also 'sonogram':
... a final section currently under development which will allow users to perform a simulated ultrasound of the lumbar spine in preparation for spinal anesthesia.

Comment: "Thank you, Muriel! It was very helpful. The only thing I don't understand why there are only 3 results in google of "ultrasound of the lumbar spine". Maybe it is not much discussed in google. Thanks!"

: I'm sorry but I've never heard people talking about ecographies. People refer to (ultrasound) scans, but I am not a specialist and I don't want to risk giving a wrong answer.

: The right spelling is "echography" but this term is also used besides sonogram and ultrasound.

lumbar scan
= An "ultrasound scan" of the lumbar region.
An ultrasound scan (sonogram) is a procedure that uses high frequency sound waves to create an image of part of the inside of the body.

I recently translated a manual on it and the accepted terms used to refer to "ecografía" were:
ultrasound scan;
ultrasonography;
sonography.
--------------------------------------------------

In conversation, most of the time the professionals just refer to the "scan" or "scanning" once the specific type (usually ultrasound or MRI in this case) is established.

ultrasound of the lumbar spine
You should use the term "ultrasound" since it refers to the process by which you get a as result the "sonogram".
The "sonogram" is the image that appears as a result of the ultrasound process.
