Pluto Hospital, Himatnagar has a 128-slice CT scanner and digital X-ray on site, available 24×7 for emergencies.

X-rays are used for bones, chest and routine checks.
Understanding the Condition
What Can a CT Scan Show?
A CT scan uses X-rays and a computer to create cross-section images of the body. A 128-slice scanner is fast and detailed, which helps in emergencies and for patients who can’t lie still for long. Some scans use contrast (dye) for clearer pictures of blood vessels and organs.

- CT chest and HRCT – lung infections and ILD

Common Questions
CT Scan FAQs
Is a CT scan available at night?
Yes. Our 128-slice CT is available 24×7 for emergencies.
Is a CT scan safe?
CT uses a controlled dose of radiation and is done only when needed. The benefit of a correct diagnosis outweighs the small risk.
Do I need to fast?
For plain scans usually not. For contrast scans, 4–6 hours of fasting is often advised – our team will tell you.
What is the difference between CT and X-ray?
An X-ray gives a single flat image; CT gives detailed cross-section images of organs and bones.
Can I get a CT scan without a doctor’s prescription?
A doctor’s advice is needed so the right scan is done. Our doctors can guide you.
