Q&A Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between a CT Scan and an MRI?

A: A CT Scan uses X-rays and is ideal for evaluating multiple organs and emergency situations. An MRI uses a magnetic field, does not use radiation, and is ideal for evaluating the brain, spinal cord, joints, and soft tissues. The physician will determine the most appropriate method.

Q: Is X-ray examination dangerous?

A: The radiation dosage used in imaging is within international safety standards and is performed only when medically indicated. However, if you are pregnant or suspect you might be pregnant, you must inform the staff before the examination.

Q: How should I prepare for an abdominal ultrasound?

A: For an upper abdominal ultrasound, patients must avoid fatty foods and fast from all food and drinks for at least 6 hours beforehand. For a lower abdominal ultrasound, patients need to drink plenty of water and hold their urine so the bladder is full, allowing the doctor to see the uterus, ovaries, or prostate gland clearly.

Q: How should I prepare for an X-ray or CT Scan?

A: Most general X-rays do not require fasting. However, for a CT Scan or MRI that requires contrast media injection, the doctor will instruct you to fast from food and water for 4–6 hours beforehand, and a kidney function test must be conducted. On the day of the exam, wear comfortable clothing without metal accessories, and immediately inform the staff if you have metal implants (such as a pacemaker) or suspect pregnancy.

Q: How long does the examination take?

A: General X-rays take about 5–10 minutes, CT Scans and Ultrasounds take about 15–30 minutes, and MRI scans take about 30–60 minutes, depending on the area being examined.

Q: What should I do if abnormalities are found?

A: The results will be sent to your attending physician or radiologist for interpretation, with treatment recommendations or rapid referral to relevant specialists.
