The Radiology & Imaging department provides digital X-ray and ultrasound, including antenatal scans, for every other department in the hospital. Digital X-ray and ultrasound run 24 hours a day, which is why a fracture, a chest infection or an acute abdomen can be assessed at any hour without sending the patient to an outside scan centre.
Images are digital, so they are available to the treating doctor within minutes of being taken and can be shared with you for a second opinion.

Questions patients ask
Is X-ray available at night?
Yes. Digital X-ray and radiology services run 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so imaging for an emergency is not held over until the morning.
Do I need an appointment for an ultrasound?
For routine scans it is best to call +91 7288 080 222 and book, partly to reserve a slot and partly because many scans need preparation. Emergency and inpatient scans are done as needed without an appointment.
How should I prepare for an abdominal ultrasound?
Usually you should not eat for six to eight hours beforehand, as food and gas obscure the gallbladder and pancreas. For a pelvic scan you may be asked to come with a full bladder. Confirm the specific preparation when you book, since it differs by scan.
Is X-ray radiation safe in pregnancy?
X-rays are generally avoided in pregnancy unless necessary, and ultrasound, which uses no radiation, is used instead wherever it can answer the question. Always tell the radiographer if you are or might be pregnant, before the X-ray is taken.
Can I get a copy of my scan?
Yes. Ask at the department and you will be given your films and report. Keep them, as they are useful for comparison at future visits and for second opinions.
