Do I need a referral from my doctor to have an imaging study interpreted by Dr. Singh?

Yes, almost all diagnostic imaging tests (like X-rays, CT, MRI, ultrasounds) and interventional radiology procedures require a formal request or requisition from your family doctor, specialist, or other authorized healthcare provider. Dr. Singh provides expert interpretation of these physician-ordered studies.

Is there general preparation needed before an imaging appointment?

Preparation varies significantly based on the type of imaging test. Some require fasting for several hours, others may need you to drink water for a full bladder, or avoid certain medications. You will receive specific instructions from the clinic or hospital when your appointment is scheduled. It's very important to follow these instructions carefully to ensure the quality of your exam and your safety.

What is Interventional Radiology?

Interventional Radiology is a subspecialty of radiology where physicians use medical imaging (like X-ray, CT, ultrasound, MRI) to guide minimally invasive procedures for diagnosis (e.g., biopsies) or treatment of a wide range of conditions in nearly every organ system. These procedures are often alternatives to open surgery. Dr. Singh specializes in these image-guided procedures.

How long will my imaging test take?

The duration depends on the type of scan. A simple X-ray might take only a few minutes. Ultrasounds can range from 15 to 45 minutes. CT scans are usually quick once you're positioned (actual scan time is often under a minute), but total appointment time can be longer. MRI scans are typically the longest, often 30 to 60 minutes or more per body part being imaged.
