If you are searching for the best laboratory in Jalandhar, you want three things: accurate reports, modern technology and a team that treats you like a person, not a number. Alfa Imaging & Diagnostics has been delivering exactly that since 1987. We are Jalandhar’s first ISO 9001-certified imaging lab, and we are NABH accredited. Under one roof we offer 50-slice CT, 4D ultrasound, colour Doppler, digital mammography, FibroScan and a fully equipped blood laboratory.
Whether your doctor has referred you for a scan, you need a routine blood test, or you are expecting a baby, our aim is the same. We give you clear, reliable results quickly, at a fair price. This page explains who we are, what we offer and why so many families across Jalandhar and Punjab trust us as their diagnostic centre.
About Alfa Imaging & Diagnostics: Our Story Since 1987
Alfa Imaging & Diagnostics began in 1987 as a small ultrasound unit. The goal was simple: give patients dependable reporting and honest service. Over more than three decades, that small unit grew into a complete diagnostic centre. Every new machine and every new service was added for one reason, to help doctors reach the right diagnosis sooner.
Today we combine advanced imaging, pathology and cardiology and neurology testing at one address on Kapurthala Chowk. You no longer need to travel between a scan centre, a blood lab and a heart clinic. That saves time, reduces stress and keeps your reports in one place, which helps your doctor see the full picture.
Our founder, Dr. Arvind Gupta, built the centre on a principle we still follow: combine world-class technology with compassionate care. Radiologist Dr. Mayank Gupta now leads our imaging work with specialised training in radiodiagnosis and foetal medicine. Together they have shaped the reputation that makes many patients call us the best laboratory in Jalandhar.
Why Patients Call Us the Best Laboratory in Jalandhar
Recognised quality standards. We are ISO 9001 certified, an international standard for quality management (you can read more at the ISO 9001 overview). We are also accredited by the National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers, which independently checks patient safety and clinical quality (see NABH). Accreditation means our processes are reviewed by outsiders, not just by ourselves.
Advanced, modern machines. We run more than 50 advanced machines, including Jalandhar’s first 50-slice CT scanner and 4D ultrasound technology. Better equipment produces clearer images and often shorter scan times.
Experienced radiologists. Every imaging report is prepared under the supervision of qualified radiologists. Reports are checked before release, because a small mistake in a report can change a treatment plan.
Simple explanations. After your scan we take time to explain the findings in plain language. Patients tell us this is what they value most, because worry grows when results feel like a mystery.
Reduced waiting time. Staggered appointments keep waiting rooms calm and schedules realistic. Critical tests can receive same-day reporting.
A clean, safe environment. Equipment and surfaces are sterilised between patients, following recognised hygiene protocols.
Affordable pricing. Advanced diagnostics should not be a luxury. Our mission is to offer the latest technology at prices families can manage.
Strong patient ratings. Our 4.8 out of 5 Google rating reflects thousands of patient experiences.
Our Diagnostic Services in Jalandhar
50 Slice CT Scan & Angiography
A CT scanner uses X-rays and computer processing to build detailed cross-sectional pictures of the body. Our 50-slice CT scan and angiography service produces fast, high-resolution images of the head, chest, abdomen, spine and blood vessels. In a CT angiogram, contrast dye highlights your arteries so doctors can spot blockages, plaque, aneurysms or clots.
CT is often used after injuries, for unexplained pain, to stage or monitor cancer, and to examine the lungs and heart vessels. The scan itself takes only minutes. You will be asked about allergies and kidney problems beforehand, because these matter when contrast is used.
3D / 4D Ultrasound & Color Doppler
Ultrasound uses sound waves, not radiation, which makes it one of the safest imaging methods. Our 3D/4D ultrasound and colour Doppler service covers abdominal, pelvic, thyroid, breast and small-parts scans. Doppler adds information about blood flow, which helps evaluate leg veins, carotid arteries and blood supply to organs and pregnancies. Ultrasound-guided FNAC and biopsies are also available in a comfortable setting.
Fetus Scan
Every parent-to-be wants reassurance. Our fetus scan service tracks your baby’s growth, checks development and examines the placenta and amniotic fluid. Because our lead radiologist is trained in foetal medicine, detailed anomaly and growth scans are performed with care and experience. We also offer a handy LMP calculator on our website to estimate your due date.
Digital Mammography
Breast cancer is among the most common cancers in women, and finding it early greatly improves treatment options (see the WHO fact sheet on breast cancer). Digital mammography uses digital detectors instead of film, giving clearer images at a low radiation dose. Screening usually takes about twenty minutes. Women should speak with their doctor about when to begin routine screening.
FibroScan and Elastography
Fatty liver disease is increasingly common, and it often causes no symptoms until damage is advanced. FibroScan is a painless, non-invasive test that measures liver stiffness and fat content in minutes. Elastography uses ultrasound to assess tissue stiffness in the liver and other organs. Together they help detect fibrosis, fatty liver, hepatitis-related scarring and early cirrhosis without a needle biopsy.
High Frequency X-Ray and Procedures
Our high-frequency X-ray systems deliver sharper images with shorter exposure times and lower radiation than older machines. We perform chest, bone, spine and joint X-rays along with contrast studies and related procedures.
CT and Ultrasound Guided Procedures
When doctors need a tissue sample or need to drain fluid, guidance matters. CT and ultrasound-guided procedures use real-time imaging to direct a needle precisely to the target. This is a minimally invasive alternative to surgery for many biopsies and drainages.
Virtual Colonoscopy and Virtual Bronchoscopy
These are less invasive, CT-based options. A virtual colonoscopy creates 2D and 3D views of the colon and rectum to find polyps and tumours. A virtual bronchoscopy shows the airways in three dimensions, revealing obstructions, tumours or foreign bodies without inserting a scope. Your doctor will advise whether these suit your situation.
EEG & ECG
An ECG records the electrical activity of the heart and can reveal rhythm problems or signs of a heart attack. An EEG records brain activity and is used to evaluate seizures and other neurological concerns. Both are available in our EEG and ECG diagnostic services section, along with echo and spirometry.

Blood Lab & Pathology Testing: Accuracy You Can Rely On
Imaging tells doctors what the body looks like. Blood and pathology tests reveal how it is working. Our blood lab is equipped with a fully automated 5-part hematology analyser, an automated BACTEC-9050 microbiology system and a fully automated coagulometer. Automation reduces human error and speeds up reporting.
Common tests include:
- Complete blood count (CBC), for anaemia, infection and clotting-cell problems
- Blood sugar and HbA1c, for diabetes screening and monitoring
- Lipid profile, for cholesterol and heart risk
- Liver and kidney function tests
- Thyroid profile
- Vitamin D and vitamin B12
- Blood culture and sensitivity, for serious infections
- Coagulation tests, such as PT/INR
- FNAC and cytology
Being both an imaging and a pathology centre is a real advantage. When your ultrasound and blood tests are done together, your doctor can connect the results. A liver ultrasound, a FibroScan and liver function tests, for instance, give a much fuller picture than any one of them alone.
Most routine blood tests need only a simple sample collection. Some, such as fasting glucose and lipid profile, require you to fast for eight to twelve hours. Water is usually fine. Always follow your doctor’s instructions about medicines.
Women’s Health, Pregnancy & Infertility Care
Many of our patients are women and couples who need sensitive, expert care, and we have built dedicated services for them.
Pregnancy imaging. From the early dating scan to detailed growth and Doppler assessments, we support you through every trimester. Doppler studies are especially valuable when a pregnancy needs closer monitoring.
Infertility evaluation. Infertility is generally defined as being unable to conceive after a year of regular, unprotected intercourse. The cause may lie with the woman, the man or both. Our infertility service combines pelvic ultrasound, follicle tracking, uterine and ovarian assessment and hormone blood tests. Detailed imaging helps doctors identify problems such as fibroids, cysts or structural uterine issues so treatment can begin sooner.
Breast screening. Digital mammography and breast ultrasound offer complementary views, and together they improve detection.
We know this is often an emotional journey. Our staff take extra care with privacy, explanation and pacing.
Advanced Technology Behind Every Report
Technology only helps when it is used wisely. At Alfa, machines are matched with trained people and clear checking steps.
Modern CT systems capture many image slices in seconds, which reduces motion blur and shortens time on the table. 3D reconstruction turns those slices into views that make complex anatomy easier to understand. High-frequency X-ray generators reduce radiation exposure. Digital mammography detectors capture finer detail. Automated analysers in the blood lab process samples consistently and record results electronically.
We also use software tools that help our team prepare and cross-check reports efficiently. These tools support our doctors; they never replace a radiologist’s judgement. Every report is reviewed by a qualified doctor before it reaches you.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Knowing the process makes any test less stressful. Here is how a visit to our centre usually works.
1. Book your slot. Call us at +91 6280279272 or use the contact page. Tell us which test you need and whether your doctor has given a prescription.
2. Prepare as advised. Some tests need fasting, a full bladder or a change in clothing. For CT with contrast, tell us about allergies, kidney disease or diabetes medicines. For pregnancy scans, follow the instructions given when you book.
3. Arrive a little early. Registration is quick, and our care coordinators guide you at each step.
4. Have your test. Our technicians explain what will happen, and you can ask questions at any time.
