Reporting: The procedure typically takes 10–15 minutes, after which the gel is wiped off, and the patient can resume normal activities. At Docscan, your report would be available immediately post the scan.
Positioning and Gel Application: The patient lies down on an examination table, and the inguinal area is exposed for imaging. A water-based gel is applied to the groin area to facilitate smooth movement of the transducer.
Scanning Process: The transducer is gently moved over the groin region to capture images of the muscles, lymph nodes, and blood vessels. The patient may be asked to perform simple movements, like coughing, to assess hernia behavior under strain.

Great service and Great place to do the tests. The staffs are very friendly and and very nice in behaviour. Covering multiple of tests.
Met Dr. Karthik Dattani, MD (Radio) for a second opinion but we realized his should have been the first opinion. Finally met a good doctor in Bangalore, who not only diagnoses but also listens to all patient concerns and answers questions will full transparency. Would highly recommend him over other snobbish and surprisingly under qualified doctors at big chain hospitals (yes, the first name that comes to your mind - “M”).
Good Ambience. Met Dr. Kartik and can easily recommend anyone to him. Very well spoken and knowledgeable.
