MRI Scan for Pituitary Gland in Hyderabad

No. An MRI machine is heavy, uses a lot of electricity and is not available as a portable device. These machines are usually situated in Labs and hospitals equipped to handle the machine with the right staff and conditions. The reports of the MRI scan, however, can be available in digital format, which you can keep even in your mobile storage.

Th MRI scan is not at all painful and is non-invasive, and it only uses electromagnetic waves to create pictures of different organs and sections of the body.

The following precautions can be taken:

1. 1. Make sure you tell the doctor about any metal implants or prosthetics that you may have in your body.
   2. Tell the doctor if you think you are pregnant.
   3. Tell the doctor if you are on medication for anxiety or claustrophobia so they can give you medicine accordingly before the procedure.
   4. Tell the doctor if you have any dental filings.
   5. Tell the doctor if you have had any past reactions to the dye substance.
   6. Tell the doctor if you need ear muffs because the movement of the machine tends to be very loud and can be bothersome.

The cost of an MRI scan of the pituitary gland can lie between 2500-5000 rupees in Hyderabad. It can vary from Lab to Lab and increase if contrast is used.
