About This Test
The Pelvis (Bony) With Both Hip Joint (Scan Charges Only) study is a non-contrast imaging procedure focused on evaluating the pelvic bones and both hip joints in detail. This scan provides high-resolution images of the pelvic ring, sacroiliac joints, acetabulum, femoral heads, and surrounding bony structures. Without the use of contrast material, the study is ideal for assessing fractures, dislocations, degenerative joint disease, congenital abnormalities, arthritis, avascular necrosis, and post-traumatic changes. It is commonly recommended for patients experiencing persistent hip pain, limited mobility, difficulty walking, or after injuries such as falls or accidents. The scan also helps detect subtle bony lesions and early degenerative changes that may not be visible on regular X-rays. Orthopedic specialists use this study for pre-operative planning, follow-up after surgery, and evaluation of chronic musculoskeletal conditions. Being a non-invasive and safe test, it offers a reliable method for comprehensive structural assessment of the pelvis and both hip joints.

condition.
condition.
Ans- Most scans take 5–10 minutes.
Ans-Yes. CT scan is a safe imaging test. However, it exposes you to a small dose of radiation. For most people, such a small potential risk far outweighs the benefits, in terms of saving your life. The radiation dose is controlled and kept within safe limits.
TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) depends on the following factors:
- Registration date and time
- Type of scan or test
- Scan time or sample collection time
In uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to test complexity or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed of the estimated TAT at the time of registration.
