Aarthi Scans & Labs Ranked #1 in Diagnostics for Chennai and Tamil Nadu

Aarthi Scans & Labs announced that it has been placed at the top of the Diagnostics rankings for both the Chennai and Tamil Nadu categories in the Times Health Comprehensive Care Survey 2026. The survey, conducted independently by Chennai Times and circulated with The Times of India, assessed providers across three domains – Diagnostics, Geriatric Care and Assisted Living – using a combination of desk research, factual surveys and perceptual ratings. Aarthi Scans & Labs emerged ahead of all other established regional providers in the Diagnostics segment.

The company’s Co‑Founder, Mr. V. Govindarajan, stated that the recognition reflects the mission established in 1988 to make advanced diagnostics accessible and affordable without compromising quality. He emphasized that every centre in the network, from the flagship location in Chennai to smaller‑town branches, operates under the same standards, and that the ranking validates this consistency.

Founded in 1988 as a single X‑ray unit in Kovilpatti, Tamil Nadu by Mr. V. Govindarajan, a mechanical engineer, and Dr. R. Gomathi, a medical doctor, Aarthi Scans & Labs has expanded into one of India’s largest integrated diagnostic networks. The network now offers MRI, CT, ultrasound, X‑ray and laboratory testing under one roof across multiple Indian cities.

In 2025, all of the company’s blood‑processing laboratories achieved National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) accreditation, ensuring uniform national quality benchmarks across every branch. The diagnostic equipment portfolio includes 1.5‑Tesla MRI systems sourced from Siemens (Germany), fully automated laboratory systems from Roche (Switzerland) and additional diagnostic platforms from Bio‑Rad (United States). These technologies are deployed uniformly across the network, matching the class of equipment used by leading global providers.

Aarthi Scans & Labs continues to operate on a direct‑to‑patient model with transparent, published pricing, distinguishing it from the referral‑dependent pricing structures common in the private diagnostics industry.
