If  you have been recommended a MRI or a CT
examine, your specialist may sometimes ask for a
scan with contrast. A contrast is nothing but a
liquid dye that is usually injected into your
veins or administered orally. This dye helps to
highlight feature the inner parts of your body,
giving the specialists a more clear picture of
irritation, organs, body structures and
veins.Sounds scary? Its not in fact, its a
very common and painless procedure so dont
worry! Plus, scans with contrast produce clearer
pictures, helping you get a more accurate
diagnosis.

The duration of your scan depends on what kind of
scan you need. The average duration of a CT scan
is 5-15 minutes, while the duration of an MRI is
around 7 20 minutes. If you need to have a CT
scan in Bangalore with contrast, you will be
given a contrast agent to drink approximately 45
minutes prior to the scan. At Ebisu Diagnostics
Center, we constantly update the patient on the
amount of time remaining for the scan, especially
in the case of our (3T) MRI scans.

Since the MRI scanner consists of a very powerful
magnet, following safety precautions is crucial.
Make sure you remove ALL metal items from your
body, including jewellery, piercings, watches,
keychains, mobile phones, etc. This is because
the magnet attracts metal items toward it at
great speed, putting you at high risk for injury.
Before the examination, you will be asked to
change into the hospital gown provided, and if
you need a contrast dye, you will be administered
one. At Ebisu Diagnostics Center, we constantly
update the patient on the amount of time
remaining for the scan, especially in the case of
our (3T) MRI scans. If you have a pacemaker or
other electrical implants, notify the staff
without fail these items cannot be taken inside
the MRI room. Most cardiac stents are now
MRI-compatible, so these shouldnt be a cause for
concern. To ensure utmost safety, do not go into
any scanning room without a nurse or qualified
staff member.

Unlike the MRI machine, the CT scanner does not
have a magnet however, you should still not
wear or carry any metal items while getting
scanned. In the case of CT scans, a serum
creatinine report is mandatory for patients above
the age of 40. If youre getting a scan with
contrast dye, you will be asked to fast for 3
hours prior to the procedure. The dye will be
administered 45 minutes before the scan. Some
patients may experience loose bowel movements for
24 hours post the scan, but this will pass
soon.Consistently, ensure that you follow the
staffs instructions and do not go anywhere
unaccompanied.

A CD of your scan will be available 20 minutes
post the procedure. The hard copy of your report
will be given only after 4-5 hours, because the
scan pictures have to be analyzed and interpreted
by our radiologists. A soft copy of the report
will also be emailed to you, within 4-5 hours.
You will receive an SMS notification when your
reports are ready.
