Radiology

PET Scan(Positron Emission Tomography Scan) is done to find cancer and to see if it is responding to the treatment. It helps in pinpointing the tumor or diseased places and give information on areas where malignant cell activities have increased. The PET Scan uses nuclear medicine which is consumed by the mutated cells and give off gamma rays that help identifying the areas of cell activities.

Paras Hospitals Gurgaon is equipped with a whole body 3T scanner with advanced neurological package. It is a fully digital 16 channel system with organ specific coils which support all applications. In addition to routine MRI studies, specialized studies like MR Spectroscopy, Functional MRI of Brain, Perfusion MRI, CSF Flow Studies, MR Angiography, High Resolution Musculoskeltal MRI, MR Neurography, MR Enterography, MRCP, MR Fistulogram, Multiparametric MRI of Prostate and MR Defecography are performed.Equipped with a dedicated breast coil, MR Mammography is also performed. The dedicated workstation with the MRI supports 3D imaging and advanced processing applications.

The state of the art 128 slice CT scanner in the department is fast, uses low dose protocols and ensures quality diagnostic imaging. In addition to routine studies, advanced studies like Coronary (Cardiac) CT, HRCT, CT Enterography, Multiphase studies for liver, 3D CT of maxillo-facial region and joints, are routinely performed. The CT scanner is also used to guide diagnostic biopsy procedures. The dedicated workstation with the CT Scanner supports 3D imaging and advanced processing applications.

The latest technology provides speed, resolution, image quality, reduced dose, and coverage. Faster acquisitions at reduced dose help enable a wider array of advanced applications.

Paras Hospitals Gurgaon is equipped with multiple high end ultrasound scanners which are capable of 3D/4D imaging. The scanners are equipped with specialized transducers for organ specific imaging. In addition to routine studies, the department performs fetal anomaly scan (Level II Obs scan), pelvic scans, follicular monitoring, TRUS and Musculoskeletal ultrasound. The ultrasound scanners are also used to guide biopsy and drainage procedures.

Paras Hospitals Gurgaon is proud to host a fully digital 1000mA X-Ray system allowing direct acquisition of high resolution images. Equipped with AED, the system ensures optimal radiation dose without compromising of image quality.

Mammography is a screening tool, searching for cancer when there are no symptoms of anything being wrong. A mammogram detects lumps, changes in breast tissue or calcifications when they’re too small to be found in a physical exam.

The department is equipped with advanced, low dose mammography unit, facilitating screening as well as diagnostic mammograms. The benefit of screening mammography in early detection of breast cancer, cannot be overemphasized.

We have specially trained radiology technologists who perform the mammogram by positioning the breast tissue in the screening equipment.

Bone Density scanning, also called bone densitometry is an enhanced form of x-ray technology that can diagnose bone loss early enough to be treated. Bone densitometry is most often used to diagnose osteoporosis , Osteoporosis is a very common condition that mostly affects women, men can be affected by it too, though less frequently. Osteoporosis involves a gradual loss of calcium, causing the bones to become thinner, more fragile and more likely to break.

The bone densitometry in the department, is done on the state of the art DEXA system. It is useful to detect and monitor osteopenia/osteoporosis in patients as well as asymptomatic population. It is a safe, low dose system.

The Radiology Department at Paras Hospitals has an expert team of Radiologists who are trained at premier institutions of the country. The department encourages sub specialty reporting and works on a dedicated PACS system. The patients are provided with CDs/DVDs of their studies, on request.
