Overview

Onco Life Hospitals offers radiology and imaging in Pune at its Wagholi cancer centre. Imaging helps doctors find cancer, learn how far it has spread, plan treatment and check how well treatment is working. Our radiology department brings the main scans together at one centre, so your tests and your oncology team are in the same place.
Imaging services available at our Pune centre include:
  • PET-CT scan: shows how active cells are in the body, and is used to stage cancer, check response to treatment and look for recurrence
  • Digital X-ray: a quick, low-dose scan of the bones, chest and soft tissues
  • Ultrasound: a radiation-free scan of the abdomen, pelvis, breast and soft-tissue lumps
  • Mammography: breast imaging used for screening and for assessing breast lumps
  • CT-guided biopsy: a needle sample taken from a deep tumour with CT guidance
Some tests, including MRI and specialised PET tracers such as DOTATATE and PSMA, are arranged through a partner imaging centre. Our team will tell you when a test needs to be done there.
Your reports are read by our radiology and nuclear medicine team and shared with your oncologist, so results lead directly to a treatment plan. Scans can be followed by medical oncology, surgical oncology or radiation oncology at the same centre, with clinical pathology support for biopsy results.
Radiology and imaging is also available at our Satara centre, Chiplun centre and Talegaon centre.

Types of Cancer We Diagnose and Monitor With Imaging at Onco Life Hospitals in Pune, India

Imaging is used across cancer care, from the first suspicion to follow-up after treatment. The groups below are those where scans form part of care at our Pune centre. Your doctor will say which scan suits your situation.

Breast Cancer

Mammography and ultrasound are used to assess breast lumps and to screen for breast cancer, and a biopsy can confirm a finding. Visit our breast cancer specialty unit, read about breast cancer or meet our breast cancer doctors in Pune.

Prostate Cancer

Imaging helps stage prostate cancer and check whether it has spread. Some specialised scans, such as PSMA PET, are arranged through a partner centre. Speak to our prostate cancer specialists about the right test for you.

Lung and Thoracic Cancer

X-ray, CT and PET-CT help find and stage lung cancer, and a CT-guided biopsy can sample a tumour deep in the lung. Our lung cancer specialists can explain which scans apply to your diagnosis.

Head and Neck Cancer

Imaging maps the size and position of a tumour and shows whether lymph nodes are involved, which guides surgery and radiation. Learn more about head and neck cancer, our oral and maxillofacial unit and our oral cancer specialists.

Abdominal and Pelvic Cancer

Ultrasound and CT-based scans are used for cancers of the digestive tract, liver, kidney, ovary, uterus and cervix, and a CT-guided biopsy can sample deep tumours in organs such as the liver and kidney.

Blood Cancer and Lymphoma

PET-CT is used to stage lymphoma and to check how well treatment is working. Read about leukaemia and lymphoma, or consult our clinical haematology team and blood cancer specialists.

Other Cancers

Imaging is used for many other cancers. Your doctor will review your reports and say which scans are an option.

Imaging Services at Onco Life Hospitals in Pune, India

The right scan depends on your symptoms, your diagnosis and the question your doctor needs answered. Your doctor decides which scan to order, and our team explains how to prepare when you book.

PET-CT Scan

A PET-CT scan combines two types of imaging to show both the structure of the body and how active the cells are. It is used to stage cancer, check how well treatment is working and look for cancer that has come back. See our PET-CT scan in Pune page for details, or book through our PET-CT appointment page.

Digital X-Ray

Digital X-ray gives a quick image of the bones, chest and soft tissues using a low dose of radiation.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound uses sound waves, so it involves no radiation. It is used to examine the abdomen, pelvis, breast and soft-tissue lumps, and can guide some biopsies.

Mammography

Mammography is a breast X-ray used for screening and for assessing breast lumps or nipple discharge. Your doctor will advise when screening should start, which may be earlier if there is a family history of breast cancer.

CT-Guided Biopsy

A CT-guided biopsy takes a small sample from a tumour deep inside the body, such as in the lung, liver or kidney. The sample goes to our pathology team to confirm the diagnosis.

MRI and Specialised PET Scans

MRI and specialised PET tracers such as DOTATATE and PSMA are arranged through a partner imaging centre. Our team will coordinate the booking and share the results with your oncologist.

What To Expect On The Day Of Your Scan

  1. Arrival and check in. Bring your doctor’s request, previous reports and scan images, and your insurance or scheme documents.
  2. Preparation. Follow the fasting and hydration instructions given when you booked.
  3. Telling the team. Let the team know if you have diabetes, kidney disease, are pregnant or are breastfeeding, so they can plan your scan safely.
  4. The scan. Wear loose clothing without metal fastenings. Some scans use contrast or a tracer, and our team will explain the steps.
  5. After the scan. Drink plenty of water after a tracer or contrast scan, unless your doctor has told you otherwise. Your report goes to your doctor, who will explain the result.
Other help for patients and families is listed on our patient support services page.
