Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on the body part, whether contrast is needed, and the protocol our radiologists plan for your clinical question. WhatsApp +91 98200 51511 and we'll confirm the exact price before you travel.

Generally, yes. Ultrasound uses no radiation and is the first imaging choice for pregnancy, soft-tissue and abdominal evaluation. We'll confirm the exact price of either on WhatsApp before you travel.

For most MRI scans (brain, spine, joints), no fasting is required. For abdominal MRI or MRCP, please have nothing to eat for about 4–6 hours beforehand; water is allowed. We confirm exact prep on WhatsApp at booking time.

For pelvic and lower abdominal ultrasound, yes — we'll ask you to drink ~1 litre of water 1 hour before and avoid the toilet until after the scan. For early pregnancy scans, full bladder helps. For NT scan and later trimester, no full bladder needed.

Loose clothing without metal (zips, hooks, underwire) is best. We provide gowns if needed. Remove jewellery, watches, hearing aids, and any electronic devices before entering the MRI room. Tattoos are usually safe — let us know in advance. If you have a pacemaker or another implant, tell us before booking and bring the device card: some devices (MR-conditional) can be scanned here under supervision, following the device's MRI conditions, while others cannot be scanned.

Our Fujifilm Echelon Smart is a wide-bore MRI, open at both ends. Our scanner also uses active noise reduction, and in-scanner music is available. Most claustrophobic patients complete scans here without sedation. We allow a family member to sit beside you. If needed, sedation is available under the supervision of an anaesthesiologist — please tell us when booking.

MRI contrast (gadolinium) and CT contrast (iodinated) are well-tolerated by the vast majority of patients. We screen for kidney function and allergy history before any contrast scan. The decision is made by your referring doctor. If you do not have a recent creatinine report, the test can be done here at the centre before the scan. For a CT scan with contrast, please have nothing to eat for about 4 hours beforehand; water is allowed. If you take metformin and are having a CT scan with contrast, we check your kidney function (eGFR) and advise you.

Our Fujifilm Supria CT uses iterative reconstruction to keep the radiation dose low. A typical chest CT is around 3–7 mSv (similar to 1–2 years of natural background radiation). For children and young adults we use even lower paediatric protocols.

Yes. Most reports are ready the same day. Urgent findings are communicated directly to your referring doctor. Reports are delivered on WhatsApp, by email, or collected in person.

Visit our reports page and enter your mobile number + date of birth. We also send your report as a WhatsApp link. Images (DICOM) come as a cloud download link or on a DVD collected at the centre.

Our radiologists are happy to walk you through the findings — call ahead to schedule a brief consultation. For most patients, your referring doctor will explain the report in clinical context.

MRI is generally safe in pregnancy after the first trimester when clinically indicated, and we avoid contrast unless absolutely necessary. CT uses ionising radiation and is avoided in pregnancy unless life-threatening conditions are suspected. Ultrasound is the preferred imaging in pregnancy.

The Fetal Medicine Foundation (UK) certifies sonologists who perform first-trimester nuchal translucency (NT) scans to a standardised protocol. Our radiologists are both FMF (UK) certified — their NT measurements are audited annually for accuracy.

Between 18 and 22 weeks of pregnancy. We follow the ISUOG anomaly scan protocol and review every fetal organ system. The scan typically takes 30–45 minutes.

Whether a scan or test is covered depends on your policy, so please check with your insurer or TPA. For insurance reimbursement, we give you every bill and report your claim needs. More about reimbursement →

We give you every bill and report your claim needs. If you need a duplicate bill or report later, WhatsApp us on +91 98200 51511.

No — blood samples for pathology tests are collected here at the centre in Dadar West. Imaging scans (MRI, CT, ultrasound, mammography) also need an in-centre visit. WhatsApp +91 98200 51511 to plan your visit.
