Our Radiology Department offers a comprehensive range of diagnostic and interventional imaging services, including:
We provide high-quality imaging to support accurate diagnoses and effective treatment planning.
MRI, or Magnetic Resonance Imaging, is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the body’s organs, tissues, and structures.
How should I prepare for an MRI?
Remove all metal objects, including jewelry, watches, and piercings.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing or follow the hospital’s gown requirements.
Fast for at least 4 hours if a contrast-enhanced MRI is required.
Notify us about any metallic implants, as these may affect the procedure.
CT, or Computerized Tomography, uses X-rays to generate detailed cross-sectional images of the body, providing crucial insights into bones, soft tissues, and blood vessels.
How should I prepare for a CT scan?
Avoid wearing metal accessories such as belts, watches, and jewelry.
Wear comfortable clothing or use the provided hospital attire.
If a contrast study is required, fast for at least 6 hours before the scan.
Non-contrast studies: These imaging tests do not use any dye.
Contrast studies: A special dye is used to enhance visibility of blood vessels, organs, and specific tissues for a clearer image.
For contrast studies, we:
Check serum creatinine levels to assess kidney function.
Ask about any history of allergies or asthma.
Advise fasting for several hours before the procedure.
Contrast enhances the clarity of images by improving the visibility of blood vessels, tissues, and organs. It helps identify abnormalities such as:
Tumors
Inflammation
Blood supply issues
This ensures accurate diagnoses and effective treatment planning.
If your serum creatinine level is elevated, we may proceed with the scan after consulting a nephrologist to ensure your safety
