About This Test
The Pelvis (Bony) With Both Hip Joints Contrast study is a detailed imaging procedure designed to evaluate the pelvic bones and both hip joints with enhanced clarity. After administering intravenous contrast, the scan highlights soft tissues, blood vessels, and bone–soft tissue interfaces, allowing radiologists to identify abnormalities such as fractures, avascular necrosis, arthritis, tumors, infections, and post-surgical changes. This enhanced visualization helps differentiate between active inflammation, benign lesions, and malignant processes. The scan covers the pelvic ring, acetabulum, femoral heads, sacroiliac joints, and surrounding musculature. It is often recommended for patients with persistent hip pain, limited mobility, traumatic injuries, suspected bone lesions, or systemic conditions affecting the pelvis and hips. High-resolution axial, coronal, and sagittal images provide a comprehensive assessment that guides orthopedic surgeons and physicians in diagnosis and treatment planning. This contrast-enhanced study is essential for accurate evaluation of complex pelvic and hip joint disorders.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ans-CT scan uses X rays to create detailed images of the inside of the body.
Ans -No. It is completely painless. You just need to lie still..
Some scans need contrast dye for clearer images. Your doctor will advise based on your
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.
