Radiology is a medical specialty that uses medical imaging techniques to diagnose and treat diseases. It involves the use of various imaging modalities such as X-rays, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, and nuclear medicine.
Preparation instructions can vary depending on the specific exam. Your healthcare provider or our radiology department will provide you with detailed instructions before your appointment. In general, you may be asked to fast for a certain period before the exam, avoid certain medications or wear loose-fitting clothing without metal objects.
The duration of a radiology exam depends on the specific procedure. Some exams, like X-rays, are relatively quick and can be completed within a few minutes. Others, such as an MRI or CT scan, may take longer, typically ranging from 15 minutes to an hour. Your healthcare provider or radiology staff will provide you with an estimate of the exam duration.
Most radiology exams are painless. However, certain procedures may involve minor discomfort or temporary sensations, such as the pressure of a mammogram or the contrast dye injection during a CT scan or MRI. It is important to communicate with the radiology staff if you feel any discomfort during the exam.
Radiology exams that involve ionizing radiation, such as X-rays or CT scans, may pose a risk to the developing fetus. It is important to inform your healthcare provider and radiology staff if you are pregnant or suspect that you might be. Alternative imaging methods that do not involve radiation, such as ultrasound or MRI, may be considered in such cases.
