The Department of Radiodiagnosis and Imaging at AIMSR has adopted the worlds latest developments in diagnostic equipments and will keep pace with fast-changing technology for quick and accurate results. We are committed to offer the best care and technology to our patients and referring doctors. The Department of Radiology and Imaging is open round the clock for the benefit of patients. 

Introduction

The Department boasts of high-quality patient care with world class equipment and highly trained specialists. The department plays a key role in advancing the state of the art imaging technologies including CT (computed tomography), MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), X-Ray (radiography) and ultrasound as well as invasive, image-guided interventional procedures. Hence, there is ample opportunity for growth in clinico-radiological work, teaching and research activities.

Department of Radiology has certified radiologists specializing in various kinds of imaging modalities. We provide excellent-quality, radiation safe and cost effective care to patients through medical imaging. The department integrates imaging with research for further advancement of technology and improved clinical benefits. We maintain highest quality of care in clinical work, procedures and teaching.

Services Rendered

The diagnostic division comprises of four sections: conventional radiography and procedures, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

There are multiple X-ray units including X-ray units with IITVs. There are portable X-ray machines which are being routinely used for admitted patients in emergency and wards. There is portable C- Arm being used in Operation Theatres.

Special Radiographic procedures

The radiography services that are being offered include

Barium contrast procedures

Intravenous pyelography (IVP) , MCU, RGU

Sinograms

T tube cholangiography

Hysterosalpingography

Mammography

Screening and diagnostic mammography services are being provided at nominal rates.

Ultrasonography

It is equipped with 4 outpatient Ultrasound with color doppler units. 1 unit ( GE Voluson E8 )is dedicated to 3D/4D imaging in pregnancy.

3 portable Ultrasound units are provided for on bed ultrasound of sick patients.

The ultrasound services provided are-
