What is a MRI Scan Sella Test in Chandigarh ?
What is MRI Scan Sella?
An MRI Scan Sella is an imaging test that creates detailed pictures of the pituitary gland and the bony sella turcica around it. It shows gland size, shape, and nearby structures. It is non-invasive and shows internal structures directly, providing information that blood and urine tests cannot.
What does MRI Scan Sella show?
The pituitary controls many important hormones for growth, reproduction, and metabolism. Detecting tumors, cysts, inflammation, or structural changes is important for diagnosing hormonal problems and vision threats. Doctors use these images to confirm a diagnosis, plan surgery or treatment, monitor tumor size over time, and check for complications after treatment. The scan helps connect symptoms such as headaches, vision changes, or unexplained hormone imbalances to an underlying structural cause.
What symptoms suggest MRI Scan Sella may be needed?
MRI Scan Sella is generally requested as part of a imaging assessment. Doctors commonly investigate this area when someone reports localised pain, swelling, or injury, a lump or restricted movement, or an abnormal finding on an earlier test that needs to be examined directly. Whether MRI Scan Sella specifically is the right test depends on your history and what your doctor is looking for. In Chandigarh, you can book this test online and check whether home collection reaches Sector 15, Sector 27 or your address.
How is MRI Scan Sella done?
This is an imaging scan, not a blood or fluid test, so no sample is collected. A qualified radiographer positions you at an accredited GetVisit-partnered imaging centre in Sector 15 or Sector 27, Chandigarh and captures the images in a few minutes. A radiologist reviews them and your report is made available through GetVisit.
How accurate is MRI Scan Sella?
Image quality and interpretation are the two pillars of accuracy. GetVisit's accredited centres serving Sector 15 and Sector 27, Chandigarh maintain modern equipment, and a qualified radiologist reviews each study before the report is issued.
Are there any risks to MRI Scan Sella?
A standard X-ray uses a very low dose of radiation considered safe for diagnostic use; ultrasound uses sound waves and involves no radiation at all. If you are or might be pregnant, tell the centre in Sector 15 or Sector 27, Chandigarh beforehand so the safest approach can be chosen. There is no needle and no recovery time.

MRI Scan Sella Test Preparation in Chandigarh
Fasting and dietary instructions:
Most imaging scans need no fasting. Some abdominal ultrasounds require a few hours of fasting or a full bladder, so follow the specific instruction shown when you book, or ask the centre.
Medication guidance:
Continue your regular medication unless told otherwise. Tell the centre if you have diabetes, kidney problems, or allergies, especially if a contrast study is planned.
What to bring:
Bring your doctor's referral, a valid photo ID, your insurance card if using cashless OPD, and any previous scans or reports so the radiologist can compare.
Timing:
Book a slot that suits you at an accredited GetVisit centre in Sector 20 or Sector 27, Chandigarh. Wear loose clothing without metal fasteners, and remove jewellery before the scan.

Why Take a MRI Scan Sella Test in Chandigarh ?
When does a doctor order MRI Scan Sella?
MRI Scan Sella is typically ordered as a dedicated pituitary imaging study when hormonal tests or symptoms suggest a pituitary problem. It is used after abnormal blood hormone levels, new vision changes, severe persistent headaches, or when monitoring a known pituitary tumor.
Who should get MRI Scan Sella done in Chandigarh?
Chandigarh's administrative, education and IT workforce, rich regional diet driving high diabetes and cardiovascular prevalence, winter air pollution, and large student population make regular preventive testing worthwhile citywide. Imaging benefits patients with pain, swelling, a palpable lump, injury, or an abnormal earlier finding, as well as those monitoring a known condition. GetVisit helps residents of Sector 15, Sector 27, and across Chandigarh book accredited imaging with clear pricing.
What can MRI Scan Sella help detect?
The scan helps diagnose adenomas, cysts, empty sella, and other structural lesions. Abnormal results most often come from tumors, inflammation, prior surgery or trauma, or congenital changes. A family history of pituitary tumors or genetic syndromes may make this test more important.
What do MRI Scan Sella results mean?
An imaging report describes what the scan shows and whether it is normal or reveals a specific finding. A qualified radiologist interprets the images, and your doctor explains what any finding means for you and whether a further test or treatment is needed. The FAQs below cover what this scan can and cannot show.
How often should MRI Scan Sella be repeated?
For preventive screening with a normal baseline: annually for most adults above 35. For monitoring a known condition: at the interval your specialist recommends, typically every 3 to 6 months for active conditions and annually for stable, well-controlled ones.
What happens after your MRI Scan Sella results are ready?
You will be notified as soon as the laboratory releases your results, usually within 24 to 48 hours. Open the report in the GetVisit app to see each value beside its reference range, share it with your doctor in a tap, or book a specialist consultation to talk it through.
