Frequently Asked Questions

What is a complete blood count (CBC)?

A CBC is a common blood test used to evaluate your overall health and detect a wide range of disorders, including anemia, infection, and many other diseases.

How should I prepare for a fasting blood test?

For a fasting blood test, you should not eat or drink anything other than water for 8-12 hours before the test. Follow your doctor's instructions for the best results.

What is an MRI scan used for?

An MRI scan is used to generate detailed images of organs and tissues in the body. It is commonly used to diagnose conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, and joints.

How is an X-ray different from a CT scan?

An X-ray captures a single image of the body's internal structure, while a CT scan takes multiple images to create a detailed cross-sectional view. CT scans provide more detailed information than X-rays.
