Introduction

Radiology plays a vital role in determining the accuracy of diagnosis and the subsequent planning of treatment. The clarity and sophistication of the images help doctors and surgeons plan every aspect of surgery in advance. In other words, imaging is the ‘the visual inspection of internal organs without incision’.

The radiology was well equipped with the state-of-art equipments such as 128 multislice CT scanner and another one is Spiral CT scanner, MRI (1.5 Tesla) The department is carrying out routinely interventional work under CT and ultra sound guidance like biopsies, drainages, PCN, embolisation of tumour vessels as well as balloon dilatation .

SCOPE OF SERVICES

Diagnostic and Interventional

The Radiology department is equipped with a number of fixed High Frequency Radiography machines incorporated with Computed Radiography (CR) system and Digital Radiography (DR) unit.

Approximately 350,000 exams are performed each year with busy, surgical, oncologic, medical and trauma services

8 Portable radiography units are kept at various places in the hospital, in the intensive care units, wards, operation theatres and casualty.
 

Ultrasound

The ultrasound facility of the department consists of the latest state of the art ultrasound scanners and has 8 USG machines located within the OP, IP, medical college, casualty, wards and OT s.
