FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I get an MRI scan in Ramgarh?
Prime Hospital — at Gola Road, Kaitha Chowk, Ramgarh — is the only facility in Ramgarh district with a 1.5 Tesla MRI scanner. Call +91 94303-92033 to book.
What is the difference between 1.5T and 3T MRI?
1.5 Tesla MRI provides excellent diagnostic quality for the vast majority of clinical indications — brain, spine, joints, abdomen. 3T MRI is only needed for a narrow set of research or highly specialised scans. Your doctor will specify if 3T is required.
Is MRI better than CT scan for the brain?
For most brain conditions (stroke, tumour, MS, epilepsy, infection), MRI gives far superior soft-tissue detail compared to CT. CT is preferred for acute head trauma and haemorrhage — both are available at Prime Hospital.
How long does an MRI scan take?
A standard MRI scan takes 20–45 minutes depending on the body part. Some scans with contrast may take slightly longer.
