An X-ray Skull Lateral View is a side-view X-ray of the skull. It helps doctors check for fractures, bone injuries, sinus conditions, and skull shape abnormalities.

No special preparation is required. You only need to remove metal items like earrings, hairpins, chains, or spectacles before the scan.

The test usually takes 5–10 minutes. The actual X-ray exposure takes just a few seconds.

No, it is completely painless. You just need to stay still for a few seconds while the X-ray is taken.

Most diagnostic centres provide the report within 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on workload.

An X-ray Reverse Towne View is a special skull X-ray taken from the front of the head with the chin tilted down. It provides a clear view of the occipital bone, skull base, and condylar areas (jaw joints).

This view is mainly used to detect condylar fractures, evaluate skull base injuries, study occipital bone abnormalities, and assess damage after facial or head trauma. It also helps in checking the alignment of the temporomandibular joints (TMJ).

No preparation is needed. Patients only need to remove metal items like glasses, earrings, chains, or hairpins because they can interfere with the X-ray.

The test is completely painless and uses very low radiation. It is safe for most people, but pregnant women should avoid X-rays unless absolutely required.

The entire procedure usually takes around five to ten minutes, and most diagnostic centres provide the report within thirty minutes to one hour depending on workload.

USG Chest is an ultrasound scan used to check the lungs, pleural space, chest wall, and surrounding structures for infections, fluid, or abnormalities.

Yes, it is completely safe. It uses sound waves and has no radiation, making it suitable for all age groups.

Doctors recommend it to detect pleural effusion, pneumonia, lung collapse, chest infections, or to guide procedures like pleural tapping.

No special preparation is required. You can eat, drink, and take medicines normally before the scan.

The scan usually takes 10–15 minutes, depending on the condition being evaluated.

It is an ultrasound test that evaluates small organs or superficial structures (like thyroid, testis, scrotum, lymph nodes, salivary glands) along with their blood flow using Doppler technique.

Doctors advise it to detect infections, torsion, inflammation, tumors, cysts, and to assess blood supply to the affected organ. It helps identify blocked or abnormal blood vessels.

Yes, the test is completely safe, painless, and does not use radiation. Doppler ultrasound only uses sound waves.

Usually, no special preparation is required. You may be asked to avoid applying powders or lotions on the area being examined.

The scan typically takes 15–25 minutes, depending on the organ and the findings.
