Specifically, Contrast Allergy Pre-Medication: High-risk allergy patients receive oral steroid pre-medication regimens (Methylprednisolone 32mg taken orally at 12 hours and 2 hours prior to contrast injection, plus Diphenhydramine 50mg IV/PO 1 hour prior).
SGLT-2 Inhibitor Hold Protocol: SGLT-2 inhibitor medications (dapagliflozin, empagliflozin) present a potential risk of euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (eDKA) during severe acute illness or surgical procedures, which is distinct from metformin-associated lactic acidosis. Furthermore, medication hold instructions are determined by the treating clinician and radiology clinical team based on individual patient assessment to prevent contrast-associated lactic acidosis.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) — Radiology Services

In addition, find comprehensive answers to common patient and referring physician questions regarding diagnostic radiology imaging, appointment preparation, safety protocols, and report interpretation at Henotic Diagnostics.

General Diagnostic Radiology Services FAQs

What are radiology services?

Furthermore, in general, radiology services include diagnostic imaging examinations such as MRI, CT, ultrasound, Doppler, X-ray, mammography, PET-CT and DEXA.

What does a radiologist do?

Specifically, a radiologist is a medical doctor who interprets diagnostic imaging examinations and prepares reports to help referring doctors evaluate and manage medical conditions.

How do I read my radiology diagnostic report?

First, look at the Impression section at the bottom for the radiologist’s primary diagnostic summary. Subsequently, the Findings section contains technical organ descriptions written for your treating physician.

What should parents do if a child is scared of an MRI?

Furthermore, parents can accompany their child into the MRI scanning room. Specifically, Henotic Diagnostics provides 3-minute Fast-MRI HASTE sequences, child-friendly music headphones, and continuous technologist support.

Can I eat right after an IV contrast CT scan?

Yes. Specifically, You may resume your normal diet immediately after your contrast CT scan. In addition, we recommend drinking 1.5 to 2 liters of plain water over the next 24 hours to accelerate natural contrast dye excretion.

Clinical Quality & Reporting FAQs

How do I get a second opinion on an outside radiology scan?

In addition, alternatively, you can bring your outside DICOM CD or upload scan files to our digital PACS portal. Our consultant radiologists perform comprehensive subspecialty over-reads and comparative interpretations.

What is AI-assisted computer-aided detection (CADx) in radiology?

In fact, AI CADx triage algorithms analyze diagnostic scans concurrently with radiologists to automatically highlight critical pathology such as acute intracranial hemorrhage, vessel occlusions, pulmonary emboli, and subtle mammographic microcalcifications.

What are ACR Appropriateness Criteria® guidelines?

Indeed, these are evidence-based guidelines developed by the American College of Radiology to assist referring physicians in choosing the most appropriate diagnostic imaging examination for specific clinical presentations.

What are CAD-RADS, LUNG-RADS, BI-RADS, and PI-RADS lexicons?

In fact, these are standardized, evidence-based reporting frameworks developed by the American College of Radiology to categorize lesion risk, ensure diagnostic clarity, and recommend standardized clinical management.

What is the turnaround time (TAT) for urgent radiology scans?

Consequently, at Henotic Diagnostics, STAT emergency findings are phoned directly to ordering doctors within 15 minutes, urgent inpatient reports are delivered within 1 to 2 hours, and routine screening reports are uploaded to the online PACS portal within 4 to 6 hours.

Specific Radiology Modality FAQs

What are the main types of radiology imaging?

Specifically, in general, the main modalities of radiology imaging are Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computed Tomography (CT), Diagnostic Ultrasound & Sonography, Color Doppler Ultrasound, Digital Radiography (X-Ray), Digital Mammography, PET-CT Imaging, Nuclear Medicine, and Bone Mineral Density (DEXA) scans.

Is MRI part of radiology?

Indeed, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an essential non-invasive subspecialty of diagnostic radiology services that utilizes strong magnetic fields and radiofrequency pulses to capture high-resolution cross-sectional soft tissue images without ionizing radiation.

Is ultrasound part of radiology?

Overall, diagnostic ultrasound and Doppler examinations are core components of radiology services that use high-frequency sound waves to visualize internal organs, vascular hemodynamics, and fetal development.

Does CT use radiation?

Yes. Specifically, CT uses X-rays combined with computer processing to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body.

Does MRI use radiation?

No. In fact, MRI does not use ionizing radiation. Moreover, it relies on radio waves and strong magnetic fields.

What is the difference between CT and MRI?

First, CT scans use X-rays for rapid imaging of bony structures, chest pathology, and acute hemorrhages. In contrast, MRI uses magnetic fields to deliver soft tissue contrast resolution for brain, spine, joint, and pelvic evaluations.

Clinical Utility & Exam Selection FAQs

Why is radiology important?

Notably, above all, radiology services provide non-invasive visualization of internal pathology, enabling early disease detection, precise treatment planning, oncological staging, and objective recovery monitoring.

How is an imaging examination selected?

In summary, an imaging test is selected based on clinical symptoms, targeted organ systems, diagnostic sensitivity, safety considerations (such as pregnancy or renal function), and referral guidelines.

Patient Experience, Preparation & Reports FAQs

What happens during a radiology examination?

Additionally, initially, during an imaging exam, certified radiologic technologists position the patient, guide breathing instructions if required, acquire diagnostic scans, and transmit images to radiologists for formal interpretation.

How should I prepare for a radiology examination?

Furthermore, in general, preparation depends on the examination. For example, abdominal ultrasounds and PET-CT scans may require fasting; pelvic ultrasounds require a full bladder; contrast CT/MRI scans require kidney function testing (creatinine); and MRI exams require removing metallic objects.

Who interprets radiology scans?

Finally, diagnostic imaging examinations are interpreted by qualified, licensed radiologists who review the scans and prepare formal diagnostic reports.
