Charak Hospital offers a comprehensive range of imaging services, including X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, ultrasounds, and mammograms. We also provide specialized imaging like PET scans and interventional radiology procedures. Our department utilizes state-of-the-art technology to ensure accurate and detailed imaging results.
Preparation for an imaging procedure can vary depending on the type of scan you are having. For instance, for an abdominal ultrasound, you may need to fast for several hours. For a CT scan that requires contrast, you may be asked to drink a specific solution before the scan. Always follow the detailed instructions provided by our radiology staff to ensure the best possible results for your scan.
The safety of imaging procedures is a top priority at Charak Hospital. Our radiologists and technologists are trained to minimize the radiation dose to the lowest possible level without compromising the quality of the images. If multiple imaging procedures are necessary, we carefully consider the cumulative exposure and make decisions that prioritize your health and safety.
The results of most imaging scans are not available immediately. Once the scan is completed, the images are sent to a radiologist who will interpret them. This process can take some time, depending on the complexity of the images and the radiologist's schedule. Typically, you will receive a detailed report within a few days, which will be discussed with you by your referring physician.
Yes, typically you will need a referral from a healthcare provider to access the services of the Department of Radiology. This referral ensures that the imaging is medically necessary and part of a coordinated healthcare plan. However, in emergency situations, immediate imaging services can be provided without a prior referral.
