CT Scan at AV Scan Diagnostics, Dadar West
AV Scan Diagnostics uses the Fujifilm Supria CT scanner with Fujifilm Intelli IP iterative reconstruction, which reduces image noise so scans can be done at lower dose settings while keeping the detail the radiologist needs. Settings are adjusted to each patient's body size, which matters most for children and for people who need follow-up scans.
All CT scans are reported by our panel of sub-specialty radiologists.
We follow the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) for all CT protocols — every scan is optimised to use the minimum radiation dose necessary for diagnostic quality images.
CT Brain — head injury, bleeding, follow-up after a stroke, tumours (for sudden stroke symptoms or a serious head injury, go to a hospital emergency department first)
A CT scan uses X-rays, so it does involve radiation. The dose depends on the part of the body scanned and the number of phases. One CT usually gives a dose similar to a few weeks' to a few years' worth of the natural background radiation everyone receives, and multi-phase scans give more. When your doctor has a clear medical reason for the scan, its benefit generally outweighs the small risk from this dose.
At AV Scan Diagnostics in Dadar West, Mumbai, every CT follows the ALARA principle (as low as reasonably achievable): enough radiation to answer your doctor's question clearly, and no more. In practice this means:
Fujifilm Intelli IP iterative reconstruction on our Fujifilm Supria CT reduces the grainy noise in images. This allows lower dose settings while keeping the detail the radiologist needs.
Settings adjusted to your body size and to the clinical question. A slim adult or a child is not scanned with settings meant for a large adult.
Only the area that needs to be seen is scanned, and contrast phases are added only when they add information.
A low-dose stone protocol is used for CT KUB (kidney stones).
Radiation-free tests at the same centre.MRI (a Fujifilm ECHELON Smart with a wide bore) and ultrasound can sometimes be used instead of CT. This depends on whether they can answer your doctor's question.
Bring earlier reports and CDs, so our radiologists can compare them with the new scan. This can sometimes avoid a repeat scan.
If you are or could be pregnant, tell us before booking any CT. Your doctor and our radiologist will decide whether the scan should go ahead or whether ultrasound or MRI can be used instead. You are not radioactive after a CT. CT scan radiation explained covers doses by body part, CT for children, pregnancy and repeat scans.
If you have sudden severe symptoms, go to a hospital emergency department first. These include a sudden severe headache, weakness of the face, arm or leg, chest pain, severe breathlessness or a serious injury.
How to Prepare for Your CT Scan
For most CT scans, you can eat and drink normally unless contrast dye is required.
For CT Abdomen or CT with contrast: about 4 hours without food beforehand; water is allowed.
Bring your doctor's referral and any previous scan reports.
Inform our staff if you have allergies, kidney disease, diabetes, or are pregnant. If you take metformin and need a contrast scan, we check your kidney function (eGFR) and advise you.
For CT with contrast, bring a recent creatinine (kidney function) report if you have one; if not, the creatinine test can be done here at the centre before the scan.
Remove metal jewellery and accessories before your scan.
Wear comfortable clothing without metal zips if possible.

Plain CT or Contrast CT (CECT): What to Expect
A plain CT (NCCT) needs no injection. A contrast CT (CECT) uses an iodine-based contrast dye given into an arm vein. The dye makes blood vessels and organs such as the liver, kidneys and pancreas show more clearly. For many CT abdomen scans, you may also be asked to drink water or a diluted oral contrast liquid slowly before the scan, so the bowel stands out. Your doctor's prescription usually says which scan you need. If it is unclear, our team confirms the right test with you, and with your doctor if needed.
Usually done with contrast:CT abdomen and pelvis (including triple-phase CT of the liver), CT urography and CT angiography of the heart, brain and neck, kidneys or legs.
Tell us before a contrast scan if you have had a previous reaction to contrast, or if you have asthma or serious allergies, kidney disease or dialysis, or an overactive thyroid. Also tell us about planned radioactive iodine treatment or a thyroid scan, and whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Heart scans: avoid tea, coffee, cola and other caffeine beforehand, as our team advises, because caffeine raises the heart rate. If your heart rate is fast, you may be given a medicine to slow it, under supervision.
During the injection you may feel a brief warm flush or a metallic taste, which usually settles within a minute or two. Tell the team straight away about itching, a rash, pain or swelling at the needle site, or difficulty breathing.
Afterwards you wait a short while at the centre, then you can eat normally. Drink plenty of water unless your doctor has asked you to limit fluids. Contrast dye is not radioactive. If a rash appears later that day or the next, or you feel unwell, contact us or your doctor.

Frequently Asked Questions — CT Scan in Mumbai
CT scans use X-rays and are faster, and better for bone injuries, the lungs and chest, kidney stones, bleeding inside the head and imaging blood vessels. MRI uses magnetic fields (no radiation) and is better for soft tissue, brain, spine, joints and abdominal organs. Your doctor will recommend the most appropriate investigation for your condition. AV Scan offers both.
A CT scan uses X-rays. Depending on the body part and the number of phases, one scan usually gives a dose similar to a few weeks' to a few years' worth of natural background radiation, and multi-phase scans give more. When your doctor has a clear medical reason for the scan, its benefit generally outweighs the small risk. Our Fujifilm Supria CT uses Fujifilm Intelli IP iterative reconstruction, and settings are adjusted to your body size, following the ALARA principle. CT scan radiation explained gives doses by body part. Pregnant women should inform our staff before booking.
The scan itself usually takes about 5–15 minutes. For a contrast scan, allow about an hour at the centre for the cannula, the scan and a short wait afterwards. If you need to drink oral contrast first, as for many CT abdomen scans, or for CT coronary angiography, allow about 1–2 hours.
Most reports are ready the same day and are sent to you on WhatsApp. All scans are reported by our panel of sub-specialty radiologists. If a scan shows something urgent, we contact your referring doctor directly.
The cost of a CT scan in Mumbai depends on the body part, whether contrast dye is needed, the number of phases and whether a special protocol such as CT angiography or a calcium score is needed. At AV Scan Diagnostics in Dadar West / Prabhadevi, the exact price is confirmed on WhatsApp before your visit. Send a photo of your prescription to +91 98200 51511, and our team confirms the right test, the preparation and the price. For insurance reimbursement, we give you every bill and report your claim needs.
In general, an MRI costs more than a CT of the same body part. This is partly because an MRI takes longer and the scanner costs more to run. But the choice between them depends on the medical question, not the price. CT is quicker and suits the lungs, bones, kidney stones and fresh bleeding inside the head. MRI uses no radiation and shows soft tissues such as the brain, spine and joints in more detail. At AV Scan Diagnostics, the price of a CT depends on the body part, whether contrast is needed and the number of phases. The exact price of either scan is confirmed on WhatsApp before your visit.
Yes, please bring a doctor's prescription. A CT uses X-rays, so it should be done only for a clear medical reason, and the prescription tells our radiologists what question to answer. Send a photo of your prescription on WhatsApp to +91 98200 51511. Our team confirms the right test, the preparation and the exact price before your visit. If the prescription is unclear, we check with you, and with your doctor if needed.
A CT scan is painless. You lie on a table that moves through a short, wide ring, not a long tunnel. You hold still, or hold your breath for a few seconds when asked. For a contrast scan you feel a small needle prick for the cannula and may notice a brief warm flush. Because the ring is short, a CT usually feels much less enclosed than an MRI. If you need an MRI and worry about closed spaces, our MRI is a Fujifilm ECHELON Smart with a wide bore, and music plays during the scan.
HRCT chest (high-resolution CT of the chest) uses very thin slices to show the lungs and small airways in fine detail. Doctors ask for it for a long-standing cough or breathlessness, interstitial lung disease and fibrosis, and bronchiectasis. Lung nodules are usually followed up with a thin-slice chest CT, often at low dose, and your doctor will say which scan you need. A plain HRCT chest needs no fasting and no injection. The scan itself usually takes only a few minutes. At AV Scan Diagnostics it is done on our Fujifilm Supria CT; see HRCT chest. Our team confirms the exact preparation when you book on WhatsApp.
Yes. AV Scan Diagnostics in Dadar West / Prabhadevi is open on Sundays from 8am to 5pm, and Monday to Saturday from 8am to 10pm. Book on WhatsApp first, so your slot and preparation are confirmed before you come. This matters most for the fasting time before a contrast scan.
Both. Most reports are sent to your WhatsApp the same day. The images are shared by cloud link or on a DVD, so your doctor can view them. Please bring earlier CT reports and CDs to your appointment. Our radiologists compare them with the new scan to see whether anything has changed.
