The advanced 64 Slice CT Scan BHU unit which was installed in the premises of Sir Sunderlal Hospital in 2008 has dramatically changed the healthcare picture of the region. This was a rare Public Private Partnership or PPP that went on to become a major success – an achievement that is not often associated with PPP projects.
Inaugurated on 15th August 2008, the CT scan unit has been continually serving the patients of this region and surrounding areas. The service is available to patients 24/7 on all days of the year; even on Sundays and National Holidays. Even after eight long years of operation, the CT scan unit is running smoothly and uninterruptedly. This speaks volumes about the quality of the technology used and the high level of service and maintenance that goes into the running of this state-of-the-art unit.
How CT Scan BHU Is Helping Patients Save Money
The CT Scan BHU unit has ushered in the highest level of convenience for patients. Before this unit was installed, they had to travel to far off cities like Delhi or other metros of the country for availing CT scanning facilities. They had to undergo major inconveniences and also face huge expenses by way of travel costs, food, and lodging and of course the exorbitant cost of the test itself.
With CT scanning facility now available locally and round the clock, they don’t have to make any advance booking for investigation. The CT scanning center is capable of handling more than 125 patients per day. In most cases, scanning is done on the same day which is a huge relief for patients.
Designed To Deliver Quality Diagnosis at Low Cost
Another major benefit that the center offers is that the cost of CT scan at BHU is significantly lower than what they would usually spend for the service outside the state. The whole endeavor of the project was to ensure that even the economically-deprived get world-class testing facilities at a fraction of the cost, they would otherwise spend.
Lakhs of patients have been served at the CT scan BHU center till date and at an economical rate. The facility runs under the direct supervision of experienced consultants of the Department of Radio Diagnosis and Imaging of the Institute of Medical Sciences (IMS). CT Scan BHU reports are prepared under the supervision of senior consultants of the department.
A High-Value and Versatile Tool For Medical Professionals
CT stands for Computerized Tomography. The technology involves using a computer that is designed to collect data from numerous X-ray images of structures. These images are then converted to pictures which can be easily analyzed on a computer monitor.
Doctors from across the globe are increasingly reliant on the high quality and detailed images produced by CT scans. These images help them envisage adverse health conditions and any developing abnormalities in the organs deep within the body. When used in a timely manner, the technology can significantly reduce the need for investigative and other types of surgeries.

The CT scan technology has made impressive and rapid advances in the last few years. Now, CT scanning can be done faster, is more safe and comfortable for patients, and available at a much-reduced cost now. Doctors find CT scanning devices a highly valuable tool for screening and diagnosing health conditions. They can plan surgeries, device treatment regimen and deliver quality treatment without subjecting patients to any major inconveniences.
