Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What's the difference between an X-ray, CT scan, and MRI?

These imaging technologies serve different purposes in diagnostic care. X-rays use radiation to create basic images, particularly useful for examining bones and detecting conditions like fractures or chest infections. They're quick and provide immediate results.

 

CT (Computed Tomography) scans combine multiple X-ray images to create detailed cross-sectional views of your body. Think of it like looking at a loaf of bread slice by slice. This technology is excellent for detecting internal injuries, tumors, or detailed bone structures. It's particularly valuable in emergency situations.

 

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) uses magnetic fields and radio waves instead of radiation to create highly detailed images of soft tissues. This makes it especially useful for examining the brain, spinal cord, muscles, and ligaments. While MRI scans take longer than X-rays or CT scans, they provide exceptionally detailed images without using radiation.

Are radiation from X-rays and CT scans dangerous?

The radiation exposure from medical imaging is carefully controlled and minimized following the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable). Modern imaging equipment at Apollo Hospitals uses advanced technology to reduce radiation exposure while maintaining image quality. The benefits of detecting serious conditions through these scans generally outweigh the minimal risks from radiation exposure.

 

For perspective, a chest X-ray exposes you to about the same amount of radiation you'd receive from a few days of natural background radiation in your environment. However, we always take special precautions for pregnant women and children, often using alternative imaging methods like ultrasound or MRI when possible.

Do I need to do anything special to prepare for my imaging procedure?

Preparation requirements vary depending on the type of imaging you're having. For basic X-rays, no special preparation is typically needed. However, for CT scans or MRIs with contrast, you may need to:

  • Fast for several hours before the procedure
  • Avoid wearing metal objects or jewelry
  • Inform us about any medications you're taking
  • Tell us if you have any allergies, especially to contrast materials
  • Let us know if you're pregnant or think you might be

We'll provide specific preparation instructions when you schedule your appointment.

What are contrast agents, and are they safe?

Contrast agents are substances used to improve the visibility of certain structures or tissues during imaging procedures. They might be given orally, injected, or administered in other ways depending on what part of your body is being examined.

 

While contrast agents are generally safe, some people may experience mild reactions like nausea or itching. Serious allergic reactions are rare, occurring in less than 1% of cases. Our radiology team is fully trained to handle any reactions, and we carefully screen patients for risk factors before administering contrast. We also tailor the type and amount of contrast to each patient's needs.

How long will my imaging procedure take?

Procedure times vary significantly depending on the type of imaging:

  • X-rays typically take only a few minutes
  • CT scans usually last 15-30 minutes
  • MRI scans can take 30-60 minutes or longer
  • Ultrasound examinations usually take 30-45 minutes

 

The actual scanning time might be shorter, but we need to ensure proper positioning and, in some cases, wait for contrast agents to distribute through your body. We'll give you a more specific time estimate when scheduling your appointment.

When and how will I receive my results?

At Apollo Hospitals, we understand the importance of timely results. Most imaging results are available within 24 hours, though some specialized studies may take longer. Your results will be:

  • Interpreted by our expert radiologists
  • Shared with your referring physician
  • Available through our digital patient portal
  • Explained to you during a follow-up consultation if needed

We'll contact you immediately if we detect any urgent findings requiring immediate attention.

Can I get a copy of my images and reports?

Yes, you can access your imaging studies and reports through our digital patient portal. We can also provide you with:

  • Digital copies of your images on CD/DVD
  • Printed copies of your reports
  • Access to share your images with other healthcare providers
  • Secure electronic transfer to other medical facilities if needed

What should I do if I'm claustrophobic and need an MRI?

We understand that MRI machines can cause anxiety for people who experience claustrophobia. We offer several solutions to help make your experience more comfortable:

  • Wide-bore MRI machines with more space
  • Music or entertainment during the scan
  • Presence of a family member when possible
  • Sedation options when necessary
  • Regular communication with the technologist throughout the procedure

Our team is experienced in helping patients with claustrophobia complete their necessary imaging studies comfortably.

How does Apollo ensure the quality and accuracy of imaging results?

We maintain high diagnostic accuracy through multiple quality assurance measures:

  • State-of-the-art imaging equipment with regular calibration
  • Double-reading of complex cases
  • AI-assisted image analysis for enhanced accuracy
