Dr. Fatima Mozammil

Specialist In

Providing advanced diagnostic imaging services including Ultrasound, Doppler, CT Scan, and MRI to ensure accurate and timely medical diagnoses.

Ultrasound

Safe, radiation-free imaging for abdominal, pelvic, and obstetric evaluations using high-frequency sound waves. Ideal for monitoring pregnancy and examining internal organs without any exposure to radiation.

Doppler

Advanced Doppler ultrasound to evaluate blood flow through vessels, assisting in the diagnosis of arterial and venous conditions, deep vein thrombosis, and carotid artery stenosis. Essential for vascular health assessment.

MRI Scans

Detailed cross-sectional imaging using magnetic fields for precise diagnosis of neurological and musculoskeletal conditions. Provides exceptional clarity of soft tissues, crucial for brain and spinal cord assessments.

CT Scans

Advanced computed tomography for rapid and accurate evaluation of internal injuries, chest, and abdominal conditions. Combines X-ray images from different angles to create detailed cross-sectional views.

Patient Safety & Preparation

Your health and safety are our top priorities. Please review these guidelines before your scan.

Safety Guidelines

Radiation Safety: CT scans use low-dose radiation. We strictly follow the ALARA principle to ensure minimum exposure.
MRI Precautions: Inform us if you have pacemakers, metal implants, or clips, as MRI uses strong magnets.
Pregnancy: Always notify the technician if you are or might be pregnant to avoid unnecessary radiation.
Contrast Allergies: Please disclose any known allergies to contrast dyes before the procedure.

How to Prepare

Fasting: For abdominal ultrasound or CT scans, fasting for 4-6 hours may be required for clear images.
Clothing: Wear loose, comfortable clothing without metal zippers or buttons for MRI and CT scans.
Hydration: Drink plenty of water before an ultrasound, as a full bladder helps provide better pelvic images.
Medical Records: Bring any previous scans or prescriptions for accurate comparison and diagnosis.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to some common questions regarding radiology and imaging procedures.

Is an ultrasound safe during pregnancy?

Yes, ultrasound is completely safe during pregnancy. It does not use ionizing radiation like X-rays; instead, it relies on high-frequency sound waves to create images, making it perfectly safe for both mother and baby.

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

A CT Scan uses X-rays to quickly capture cross-sectional images, making it excellent for viewing bone injuries and chest/abdomen issues. An MRI uses powerful magnets and radio waves, providing much more detailed images of soft tissues like the brain, spinal cord, and ligaments.

What is a Doppler ultrasound used for?

A Doppler ultrasound is used to evaluate blood flow through your arteries and veins. It helps diagnose conditions such as blood clots, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), poor circulation, arterial stenosis, and varicose veins. It is also used during pregnancy to monitor fetal blood flow.

Do I need a doctor's referral for these scans?

Generally, yes. A doctor's referral is required for MRI and CT scans to ensure the correct imaging procedure is performed based on your medical condition. However, you can always consult with Dr. Fatima for an initial evaluation.

How long does an MRI scan take?

An MRI scan typically takes between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being scanned. You will need to lie very still during the procedure to ensure clear images. Our staff will guide you throughout the process to keep you comfortable.
