Department of Radio Diagnosis

About

The department is situated on the ground floor of the hospital. Almost all the present-day imaging modalities are available in the department. We have been doing almost all image-guided interventional radiological procedures in the department. We started with the MD Radio-Diagnosis course in 2019 with 4 students per year. We are also training the MBBS students in radiology as per the latest MCI teaching module, giving them requisite exposure in USG, CT, and MRI. We have been carrying out research work in the department and publishing the research work in the journals of national and international repute. We are exposing the faculty and residents to various CMEs throughout the country and have also been organizing conferences and training programs in the institute itself. We are growing by leaps and bounds as a department and trying our best to keep pace with the ever-growing field of radiology.

Facilities

X-ray Machines

The department is equipped with a Digital Radiography X-Ray Machine (800 mA). The digital format allows manipulation and magnification of the images to improve contrast and make the lesions look more conspicuous. The improved quality of images can almost eliminate the need for repeat radiographs.

Fluoroscopy with IITV X-Ray Machine (800 mA).

600 mA X-ray machines, 300 mA X-ray machines, and a mobile X-ray machine.

OPG Machine

Specialized contrast procedures such as Barium studies, intravenous Urography, Cystourethrograms, and HSG are performed on these X-ray machines. The image intensifier TV systems used for performing these procedures enable more accurate diagnosis and significant reduction in radiation dose to patients.

Mammography Machine

Breast imaging is performed with technology like mammography, breast ultrasound, and breast MRI. We work with the pathology team to perform breast biopsies as well.

USG Machines

The ultrasound facility consists of the latest state-of-the-art ultrasound scanners:

Doppler Study

Doppler studies include Carotid and Vertebral Studies, Portal Venous System, Aorta and IVC Flow, Arterial-Venous Systems, Renal Doppler, Transplant Kidney, Liver Doppler, and Iliac Vessels Doppler, as well as Obstetric Doppler.

Aspirations

Ultrasound-guided aspirations for Pleural, Ascites, Pseudocyst, Abscess, Pelvis Collection, and Ultrasound-guided pigtail insertion.

Image Guided Biopsy

Using ultrasound & CT guidance, our highly skilled radiologists perform biopsies of intricate and complex organs including Lung, Liver, Kidney, Breast, Musculoskeletal, Retroperitoneum, and Pelvis.

CT Imaging

The department has two CT scanners: a 16-slice Multi-detector CT & a 16-slice CT with PET Scan. Procedures include Whole body Imaging, CT Angiography (Aorta, peripheral and cerebral), Bowel Imaging, High-Resolution Computed Tomography, CT guided biopsy, and CT guided drainage procedures.

MRI Imaging

Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the whole body is performed on the GE Signa 1.5 Tesla. Services include Whole body MRI, High Resolution Imaging of Joints, MR Angiography, MR Spectroscopy, and Perfusion and Diffusion Imaging.

Interventional Radiology

The Interventional Radiology (IR) Unit provides both diagnostic and therapeutic services using advanced imaging technology for minimally invasive treatments.

Specialty Clinics

Breast Clinic
