Clinical Applications
Understanding Your Diagnosis
Our high-field MRI and 64-Slice CT allow us to peer inside the human body with unparalleled clarity. Here is how we apply this technology across major medical specialties.
Neurology & Brain Health
Advanced Neuroimaging for Stroke, Tumors, and Degenerative Diseases
When it comes to the brain and nervous system, clarity is non-negotiable. Our 1.5 Tesla MRI excels in neuroimaging, providing exquisite detail of brain parenchyma, the spinal cord, and cranial nerves. We routinely perform specialized stroke protocols (Diffusion-Weighted Imaging) which can detect brain ischemia within minutes of onset—a critical window for saving brain tissue. Additionally, our high-resolution scans are pivotal in early detection of brain tumors, multiple sclerosis plaques, epilepsy protocols, and degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. For vascular issues, our non-contrast MR Angiography (MRA) visualizes the delicate blood vessels of the brain to detect aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) with pinpoint accuracy.
Cardiology & Heart Disease
Non-Invasive Cardiac Assessment with 64-Slice CT
Heart disease remains a leading cause of mortality, but early detection transforms outcomes. Our 64-Slice CT scanner is a game-changer for cardiac care in Barmer. Through CT Coronary Angiography (CTCA), we can non-invasively visualize the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle. In just a single breath-hold, the machine captures the beating heart, allowing our radiologists to detect cholesterol plaques, calcium buildup (Calcium Scoring), and arterial blockages without the need for traditional, invasive catheter angiography. This provides cardiologists with a rapid, highly accurate risk assessment for heart attacks.
Orthopedics & Sports Injuries
Precision Imaging for Bones, Joints, and Spine
Whether it is a sports injury, chronic back pain, or severe trauma, orthopedic conditions require detailed structural mapping. Our MRI is the gold standard for soft tissue evaluation, flawlessly imaging complex joints like the knee, shoulder, and hip. It can clearly identify microscopic ligament tears (such as ACL or meniscus injuries), cartilage damage, and bone contusions that X-rays simply cannot see. For the spine, our high-field MRI precisely maps disc herniations, nerve root compressions, and spinal stenosis. Conversely, our 64-slice CT is deployed for complex 3D bone reconstructions, surgical planning for shattered fractures, and detecting subtle, hidden bone cracks.
Oncology (Cancer Care)
Crucial Imaging for Staging and Treatment Planning
In the fight against cancer, detailed imaging is the first line of defense. High-resolution cross-sectional imaging is indispensable for the early detection, accurate staging, and ongoing monitoring of malignancies. Our facility performs comprehensive multi-phase contrast CTs (like Triphasic Liver CTs) and sophisticated MRI protocols (such as multiparametric prostate MRI and breast MRI) to characterize tumors. By precisely measuring tumor size, assessing lymph node involvement, and detecting distant metastases, our detailed diagnostic reports empower oncologists to tailor targeted chemotherapy, radiation, or surgical interventions for the best possible patient outcomes.

Patient Waiting Area
Understanding Your Scan: Contrast vs. Non-Contrast
Many patients wonder why their doctor prescribed a "Contrast" scan. A non-contrast scan (plain scan) provides excellent anatomical detail and is sufficient for many conditions like fractures, slipped discs, or brain hemorrhages. However, sometimes tissues look too similar on a plain scan.
This is where Contrast Media (often called "dye") comes in. Administered intravenously, this specialized liquid flows through your bloodstream and temporarily alters the way x-rays (in CT) or magnetic fields (in MRI) interact with your body. It acts as a highlighter, brightly illuminating blood vessels, areas of inflammation, and hyper-vascular tumors.
Safety is our paramount concern. While contrast agents are very safe, they must be filtered by your kidneys. Therefore, before any contrast is administered, our clinical team will review your recent Serum Creatinine blood test to confirm healthy kidney function. We will also carefully screen you for a history of asthma or severe allergies to ensure a completely safe, reaction-free procedure.
Diagnostic Excellence: The Science Behind Your Report
Behind every state-of-the-art machine must be an exceptional human mind. At Kedar CT & MRI Centre, we believe that the quality of your diagnosis relies heavily on the expertise of the radiologist interpreting the images.
Under the expert guidance of our Chief Radiologist, a senior consultant with over 15 years of rigorous clinical experience in advanced diagnostic imaging, we maintain a standard of uncompromising accuracy. An MD Radiologist has spent years specializing specifically in the physics, anatomy, and pathology revealed by MRI and CT technology.
The diagnostic process is meticulous. Once your scan is acquired by our certified technologists, the digital images are transmitted to a high-resolution diagnostic workstation. Here, the radiologist scrutinizes hundreds, sometimes thousands, of individual image slices. By manipulating contrasts, generating 3D reconstructions, and analyzing tissue behavior across multiple magnetic resonance sequences, they piece together a comprehensive clinical picture.
This dedication to E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness) ensures that the final report delivered to your treating physician is not just data, but actionable, life-saving medical intelligence.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about CT scans and MRI imaging at our centre.
What is the difference between CT scan and MRI?
CT scan uses X-rays to create detailed images of bones and organs — it's faster and ideal for emergencies. MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves — no radiation — providing superior soft tissue detail for brain, spine, and joint conditions. Your doctor will recommend which is best for your condition.
Is CT scan safe? How much radiation does it involve?
Yes, CT scans are highly safe when performed correctly. Our 64-Slice CT scanner features advanced ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) dose-modulation technology, which uses the lowest possible radiation dose while producing excellent image quality. The radiation from a single CT scan is minimal, and the diagnostic benefits far outweigh any potential risks. Our expert technicians strictly follow international radiation safety protocols.
How long does an MRI scan take?
Most MRI scans take between 20 to 45 minutes depending on the specific body part being examined. Complex studies like MRI Spectroscopy, Whole Body MRI, or advanced neurological scans may take up to 60 minutes. You will need to lie perfectly still during the scan to ensure crisp images. Our friendly staff will provide you with earplugs to block out the machine's knocking sounds and will communicate with you throughout the entire process.
Do I need a doctor's referral for a CT scan or MRI?
Yes, a valid doctor's prescription or referral is highly recommended before undergoing a CT scan or MRI. A referral helps our senior radiologists understand your specific symptoms, clinical history, and exactly which area needs to be scanned with what specific protocols (e.g., with or without contrast). This ensures you get the most accurate and useful diagnostic report for your treatment.
What is the price of a CT scan or MRI at Kedar Centre in Barmer?
Scan prices vary depending on the specific type of study (e.g., brain, spine, abdomen), whether contrast dye is required, and the complexity of the imaging. We pride ourselves on offering competitive and transparent pricing for world-class diagnostics in Barmer. For the exact cost of your prescribed scan, please call our 24/7 helpline at +91 96104 84886 or send us your prescription via WhatsApp.
Is Kedar CT & MRI Centre open 24 hours?
Yes, absolutely. Kedar CT & MRI Centre operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. We understand that medical emergencies (like strokes, head traumas, or severe abdominal pain) can happen at any time. Our facility, complete with specialized technicians and emergency protocols, is always ready to serve you — day or night.
What is a 64-slice CT scan and why is it better than older machines?
A 64-slice CT scanner captures 64 high-resolution cross-sectional images in a single rotation, compared to just 16 or fewer in older machines. This technological leap means significantly faster scan times (often just a few seconds), much sharper images with minimal motion blur, lower radiation exposure, and the ability to perform highly advanced studies like CT Coronary Angiography (heart scans) and 3D organ reconstructions. Kedar Centre brings this state-of-the-art capability exclusively to Barmer.
What does 1.5 Tesla MRI mean?
Tesla (T) is the unit of measurement used to quantify the strength of an MRI scanner's magnetic field. A 1.5 Tesla MRI is the widely accepted global clinical standard for high-quality diagnostic imaging. It offers an optimal balance between exceptionally detailed image resolution (crucial for detecting tiny lesions in the brain or spine) and patient comfort, with shorter scan times and reduced artifacts compared to weaker, open MRI systems.
What is an HRCT chest scan and when is it necessary?
HRCT (High Resolution Computed Tomography) of the chest is a specialized CT protocol that provides extremely detailed, cross-sectional images of the lungs. It is the gold standard for diagnosing interstitial lung diseases (ILD), pulmonary fibrosis, emphysema, early-stage lung infections (including post-COVID-19 complications), and characterizing lung nodules. It provides much more detail than a standard chest X-ray.
Can pregnant women undergo an MRI or CT scan?
CT Scans (which use ionizing radiation) are generally avoided during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester, unless there is a life-threatening emergency and no alternative imaging is available. MRI (which uses magnetic fields and no radiation) is considered much safer during pregnancy and is frequently used if an ultrasound is insufficient. However, MRI contrast dye (Gadolinium) is usually avoided. Always inform our staff if you are or might be pregnant.
What is MRI or CT Contrast Dye and is it safe?
Contrast media (commonly called "dye") is a specialized liquid given intravenously (or orally) to highlight blood vessels, tumors, infections, and specific organs on the scan. For CT scans, iodine-based contrast is used; for MRI, gadolinium-based contrast is used. While highly safe for the vast majority of patients, we strictly evaluate your kidney function (via a serum creatinine blood test) and medical history (allergies, asthma) before administering any contrast to ensure your absolute safety.
What is the maximum weight limit for the MRI machine?
Our advanced 1.5 Tesla MRI machine is designed with a patient-friendly, wide bore that comfortably accommodates a variety of body types. The table has a safe operating weight limit of approximately 150-180 kg depending on the specific scan requirements. If you have concerns about weight limits or severe claustrophobia, please contact our team in advance so we can assist you.
Will I feel claustrophobic during the MRI?
It is natural to feel a bit anxious, but our modern 1.5T MRI features a shorter, wider tube (bore) and excellent ventilation compared to older models, significantly reducing feelings of claustrophobia. Our compassionate technicians will keep you informed, you will have a two-way intercom to speak with them at any time, and you will be given an emergency squeeze ball to halt the scan instantly if you feel overwhelmed.
How do I prepare my child for a pediatric CT or MRI scan?
Preparing children requires patience. For a CT scan, the extreme speed of our 64-slice machine usually means children can hold still for the few seconds required without sedation. For an MRI, which takes longer, we take extra care to explain the "loud spaceship" noises. Depending on the child's age and the scan's complexity, mild sedation prescribed by a pediatrician might be necessary to ensure they remain perfectly still for clear images.
How soon can I expect my diagnostic report?
We prioritize fast turnaround times because we know medical decisions depend on our results. For the vast majority of routine CT and MRI scans, reports are available the very same day. Emergency scans (trauma, stroke) are processed immediately with STAT reporting. Highly complex specialized studies may take 24-48 hours for our senior radiologists to perform a detailed, multi-parametric analysis.
Do you offer Whole Body MRI screening?
Yes, our 1.5 Tesla MRI is equipped with the advanced coils and software necessary to perform Whole Body MRI. This comprehensive, radiation-free scan is increasingly used for proactive health screening, cancer metastasis staging, and evaluating widespread systemic diseases. It is a powerful tool for early detection.
