You lie on your back on a table-like bed. When the scan begins:

  • The bed moves into a doughnut-shaped scanner. Now stay calm because movement can blur your images.
  • The scanner captures pictures of the body part needed to examine.

When the exam is over, the table moves back slowly out of the scanner.

The patient is likely to spend nearly 3-4 hours at the scanning centre. Majority of the time is for preparation. The scan takes 20-30 minutes.

  • The reports usually take 24-48 hours.
  • You can collect your reports from our centres between 7 to 10 pm.
  • You can also receive them via courier, email or WhatsApp.
