About
The Department of Radiology is situated on the ground floor of the hospital, equipped with almost all present-day imaging modalities. We perform a wide range of image-guided interventional radiological procedures, supported by a team of well-trained and experienced Radiologists.
We initiated the MD Radio-Diagnosis course in 2019 with an intake of 4 students per year. Additionally, we train MBBS students in radiology as per the latest MCI teaching module, providing them with requisite exposure in Ultrasound (USG), Computed Tomography (CT), and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
Our department actively engages in research work, publishing findings in nationally and internationally reputed journals. We continuously expose our faculty and residents to various Continuing Medical Education (CME) programs across the country and organize conferences and training programs within the institute itself. As a department, we are growing rapidly, striving to keep pace with the ever-evolving field of radiology.

Facilities
1. X-ray Machines:
The department is equipped with the latest Digital Radiography X-Ray Machines, including:
- Digital Radiography X-Ray Machine 800 mA - The digital format allows manipulation and magnification of the images to improve contrast and make lesions more conspicuous, significantly reducing the need for repeat radiographs.
- Fluoroscopy with IITV X-Ray Machine 800 mA
- 600 mA X-Ray Machines
- 300 mA X-Ray Machines and mobile X-ray machines
2. OPG Machine:
Specialized contrast procedures such as Barium studies, Intravenous Urography, Cystourethrograms, and HSG are performed using our OPG machine. The image intensifier TV systems enable more accurate diagnosis and significant reduction in radiation dose to patients.
3. Mammography Machine:
Breast imaging is performed using mammography, breast ultrasound, and breast MRI. We collaborate with the pathology team to perform breast biopsies, including ultrasound-guided needle biopsies and hook-wire localization procedures for definitive diagnosis in non-palpable cases of breast cancer.
4. USG Machines:
Our ultrasound facility includes the latest state-of-the-art ultrasound scanners with the following capabilities:
