At Aarthi Scans and Labs, we strongly believe that the cost of diagnosing a disease should never push a patient into financial hardship or make their treatment unaffordable. Unfortunately, the high cost of diagnostic services across the country often leads to delayed diagnoses, unaffordable tests, and limited access to advanced facilities leaving millions vulnerable.
Our vision is simple yet powerful; no one should suffer because a diagnosis is out of reach. To make this a reality, we have consistently kept our pricing 50–60% lower than the industry average, especially for essential services like MRI, CT, and blood tests. We also provide reduced pricing during night hours, further easing access for patients.
Over the last 36 years, it has been the trust of our patients, their word of mouth, and our unwavering commitment to delivering advanced, compassionate diagnostics that have helped us scale and sustain this model. By combining exceptional diagnostic capabilities with affordability, we continue to fight for a healthcare system where early, accurate diagnosis is accessible to all.
At Aarthi Scans and Labs, affordability is at the heart of our vision:“The cost to diagnose a disease should not make a patient poor, that their treatment becomes unaffordable.” Guided by this principle, we have priced our scans and blood tests 50–60% lower than the market rate, without compromising on quality or accuracy.
We achieve this through:
Serving a large patient base allows us to keep costs low and pass on the benefit directly to patients.
Automation and digital workflows reduce manual work in reporting, improving speed while cutting costs.
Our leadership operates with in-depth knowledge of local needs, ensuring effective and cost-conscious operations.
We invest wisely in facilities and real estate, avoiding unnecessary overheads.
Every rupee is spent with care, prioritizing patient benefit over extravagance.
We ensure that our savings is passed directly to the patients instead of intermediaries.

A Carotid Ultrasound examines the blood flow in the neck arteries that supply the brain, helping detect blockages or plaque buildup. The scan lasts 20–25 minutes, and the report is ready within 6 hours. It costs about ₹1,500–₹2,000, and it is a painless, radiation-free diagnostic test.
A carotid ultrasound is a non-invasive and painless way of imaging the carotid arteries in the neck. The radiologist scans the arteries that carry blood from the heart to the brain using a transducer. High frequency sound waves are sent by the transducer to these arteries. They bounce off the organ and echo back to the handheld device.
The transducer collects these electronic signals and sends them to a specialized computer. The ultrasound monitors processes those signals and generates real-time visuals. A carotid ultrasound is helpful in the diagnosis of blockages, plaque build-up, and stenosis.
A Carotid Ultrasound evaluates the carotid arteries in the neck that supply blood to the brain. It helps detect plaque buildup, narrowing, or blockages that could lead to a stroke. This scan is often recommended for people with high cholesterol, hypertension, or previous stroke symptoms.
Before your Carotid Ultrasound scan, our technologist will review your medical history, symptoms, and any risk factors for stroke or vascular disease, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or smoking. You may be asked to avoid wearing turtlenecks or collared clothing around the neck area for easier access during the scan. No fasting or special preparation is usually required, though it’s helpful to avoid applying lotions, oils, or powders on your neck before the test, as these can interfere with the ultrasound probe’s contact. Please bring along any previous ultrasound or vascular test reports for comparison and accurate evaluation.
During the scan, you will be asked to lie comfortably on your back on the examination table, with your neck slightly tilted to one side. A clear, water-based gel will be applied to your neck to allow smooth movement of the ultrasound transducer and improve sound wave transmission. The sonologist will gently move the transducer along both sides of your neck to examine the carotid arteries; the major blood vessels that carry blood from your heart to your brain.
The scan provides real-time images and Doppler flow information, helping assess the blood flow, plaque buildup, narrowing (stenosis), or blockages in the arteries. The entire procedure is non-invasive, safe, and painless, and typically takes about 20–30 minutes to complete.
After the scan, the gel will be cleaned off, and you can resume your usual activities immediately. There are no side effects or recovery time needed. The images and Doppler data are analyzed by an experienced radiologist or vascular specialist, who prepares a detailed report outlining any blood flow abnormalities or arterial narrowing detected. This report will be shared with your referring physician or cardiologist, who will discuss the results with you and guide any further treatment or preventive steps if needed.
Patients with the following issues in their neck cannot get a carotid ultrasound scan:
