High-Field Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Our high-field MRI scanner provides exceptionally detailed tissue contrast, enabling our radiologists to evaluate neurological, musculoskeletal, and vascular conditions with high precision.

Clinical Applications:

  • Brain & Spine: Screening for stroke, tumors, multiple sclerosis, disc herniations, and spinal stenosis.
  • Orthopedics: Visualizing ligament tears (ACL/MCL), meniscus damage, cartilage wear, and joint infections.
  • Vascular MRA: Non-contrast assessment of brain aneurysms and carotid artery narrowing.

Patient Preparation Guidelines:

  • Remove all metal objects, jewelry, watches, keys, and hairpins prior to entering the MRI room.
  • Notify our coordinators if you have a cardiac pacemaker, cochlear implants, or metallic fragments in your body.
  • No fasting is required for standard brain or joint MRI scans. For abdominal MRIs and contrast studies , fast for 4 hours.
  • If your doctor requested a Contrast MRI, bring your recent blood report showing Serum Creatinine levels.

Multi-Slice Computed Tomography (CT Scan)

CT scanning combines advanced computer processing with multiple X-ray measurements to reconstruct detailed cross-sectional slices of internal organs, bone structure, and blood vessels.

Clinical Applications:

  • Chest & Abdomen: Spotting infections, bowel obstruction, kidney stones, appendicitis, and vascular aneurysms.
  • Trauma & Orthopedics: Detailed mapping of complex bone fractures and internal bleeding.
  • Oncology: Identifying tumor bounds, staging spread, and verifying chemo results.

Patient Preparation Guidelines:

  • For plain CT scans (non-contrast), no special fasting is required.
  • For Contrast-Enhanced CT (CECT) scans, you must fast (no food or liquids except plain water) for 4 to 6 hours before your appointment.
  • Bring a recent Serum Creatinine blood test report to ensure safe contrast dye processing.
  • Wear comfortable, loose clothing. You will be asked to change into a clinical gown for the scan.

Advanced Ultrasound & Color Doppler Studies

Ultrasound uses safe, high-frequency sound waves to create live images of tissues and organ motion, completely avoiding exposure to ionizing radiation.

Clinical Applications:

  • Basic Abdominal & Obstetric/Gynaecological USG: Routine pregnancy, fetal monitoring, ovarian, uterine, and general abdominal organ evaluation.
  • Small Part USG (Thyroid / Breast / Scrotum etc): High-frequency scans for superficial tissues, thyroid nodules, breast screening, scrotum, and small body parts.
  • Musculoskeletal / Peripheral Nerve USG: Visualizing muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, and peripheral nerves for orthopedic diagnostics.
  • Transvaginal USG: Internal pelvic scanning for higher-resolution gynecological and obstetric diagnostic accuracy.
  • Color Doppler Studies: Neck/Carotid Doppler, Limb/Peripheral Vascular Doppler (arterial and venous to rule out DVT), Renal Doppler, and other abdominal Doppler studies.

Patient Preparation Guidelines:

  • Whole Abdomen USG: Fast for 6 hours before the study to reduce bowel gas interference.
  • Pelvic / Obstetrics USG: Drink 4-5 glasses of water 1 hour prior. Do not void; a full urinary bladder is needed for clear imaging.
  • Neck/Thyroid/Scrotum Doppler: No fasting or bladder preparation is required.

Basic Abdominal & Obstetric USG

High-resolution imaging to evaluate abdominal organs and monitor fetal development during pregnancy.

Clinical Applications:

  • Routine pregnancy monitoring and fetal health evaluation.
  • Evaluating liver, gallbladder, kidneys, spleen, and pancreas for abnormalities.
  • Identifying causes of abdominal pain or swelling.

Patient Preparation Guidelines:

  • Abdominal Scans: Fast for 6 hours before the study to reduce bowel gas interference.
  • Pelvic / Obstetrics Scans: Drink 4-5 glasses of water 1 hour prior. Do not void; a full urinary bladder is needed.

Small Part USG (Thyroid/Breast/Scrotum)

Targeted high-frequency ultrasound for superficial tissues and smaller superficial organs.

Clinical Applications:

  • Evaluating thyroid nodules, cysts, or enlargement.
  • Screening breast tissue for lumps or abnormalities.
  • Assessing testicular pain, swelling, or scrotal masses.

Patient Preparation Guidelines:

  • No fasting or bladder preparation is required.
  • Please wear loose, comfortable clothing around the area to be scanned.

Musculoskeletal & Nerve USG

Detailed visualization of the musculoskeletal system, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, and peripheral nerves.

Clinical Applications:

  • Diagnosing tendon tears (e.g., Achilles, rotator cuff) and ligament injuries.
  • Assessing joint inflammation, effusions, and arthritis.
  • Evaluating peripheral nerve entrapment (e.g., Carpal Tunnel Syndrome).

Patient Preparation Guidelines:

  • No special preparation is required.

Transvaginal USG (TVS)

An internal pelvic ultrasound providing superior high-resolution imaging of the female reproductive organs.

Clinical Applications:

  • Detailed evaluation of the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes.
  • Diagnosing causes of pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, or infertility.
  • Early pregnancy confirmation and monitoring.

Patient Preparation Guidelines:

  • Empty your bladder completely just before the scan.

Vascular Color Doppler Studies

Specialized ultrasound utilizing the Doppler effect to visualize and assess blood flow through arteries and veins.

Clinical Applications:

  • Neck/Carotid Doppler: Assessing stroke risk and plaque buildup in carotid arteries.
  • Limb/Peripheral Doppler: Diagnosing Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) or Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD).
  • Renal Doppler: Evaluating blood flow to the kidneys to investigate hypertension.

Patient Preparation Guidelines:

  • Abdominal/Renal Doppler: Fast for 6 hours prior to the study.
  • Neck or Limb Doppler: No fasting or preparation is required.

Digital Breast Mammography

Mammography is a low-dose X-ray examination specifically calibrated to capture breast tissue details, serving as the gold standard for screening and early detection of changes.

Clinical Applications:

  • Screening for early signs of breast changes (microcalcifications and soft tissue nodules) before symptoms arise.
  • Evaluating palpable lumps, skin thickening, or localized pain.

Patient Preparation Guidelines:

  • Do not apply deodorants, talcum powder, body lotions, or perfumes under your arms or on your breasts on the day of the scan, as these can show as microcalcification spots on X-rays.
  • Wear a two-piece outfit (skirt/pants and a top) for convenience during prep.

Digital PET WITH 80 SLICE CT SCANNER (uMI550)

We proudly introduce J&K's first Digital PET-CT scanner. This advanced molecular imaging technology provides unmatched clarity for early tumor detection and oncology staging.

Clinical Applications:

  • Oncology: Precise tumor localization, staging, and monitoring treatment response.
  • Neurology: Early detection of Alzheimer's and other dementias.
  • Cardiology: Assessing myocardial viability.

Patient Preparation Guidelines:

  • For detailed patient preparation guidelines (diet, hydration, and timing), please view our comprehensive PET-CT guide.

Digital X-Ray

We provide high-resolution digital X-rays with minimized exposure to diagnose respiratory, bone, and joint conditions.

Clinical Applications:

  • Digital X-Ray: Chest checks for pneumonia, joint radiography for arthritis, and bone integrity.

Patient Preparation Guidelines:

  • X-Ray: No special prep. Inform technicians if there is any chance of pregnancy.
