256 SLICE CT SCANER (Philips Brilliance 256 slice)
The multi slice CT has revolutionized cross sectional imaging with exquisitely detailed multiplanar depiction of human anatomy and functional details. 256-slice is one of the most advanced CT systems in the world. It delivers high image quality, dose efficiency and rapid reconstruction times and can carryout a full body scan in less than a minute.
Features and applications
DUAL SLICE CT Scanner (GE)
Dual slice (multislice) CT provides speed, resolution, image quality, reduced dose, and coverage optimal for an emergency CT study. Sub millimeter slice thickness provides the high spatial resolution required for the visualization of small anatomy. Speed is sufficient to perform more aggressive studies like CT angiograms.

NEURO INTERVENTION CENTRE
Institute has started Neuro Intervention Centre (NIC) in January 2013, comprising of dedicated neuro intensive care unit, general ward and state of the art Cath lab. Neuro intervention centre (NIC) is a tertiary care facility for the comprehensive management of patients suffering from various neuro-vascular disorders. The quality management practices coupled with a strong multidisciplinary co-operative directions of NIC has contributed significantly in achieving less than 1% morbidity and mortality in the neurovascular treatment. This facility is the only one of this kind in India regarding the management of neurovascular diseases.
We have started second cath lab in 2017 (Philips AlluraXper FD 20 Single plane).This is mainly to manage huge need of diagnostic neuro angiographic procedures and other vascular and non-vascular diseases.
Interventional radiology division is managing more than 4000 patients in the outpatient section and performing more than 1200 inpatient procedures per year at present (data as on 2017).

Cath labs
DIGITAL SUBTRACTION ANGIOGRAPHY (GE Innova 4100 biplane)
The DSA system equipped with biplane detectors give breathtaking fluoroscopy and outstanding angiography and is one of the most advanced DSA systems in the world. This dedicated neuro vascular DSA system with large 40 x 40cms size flat panel tremendously decrease procedure time and radiation to the patient.
The superb image quality and advanced 3D tools help in confident decision making during all kinds of endovascular procedures. High resolution imaging by the fixed X-ray system provides crisp, virtually distortion-free visualization of small details and objects to support endovascular interventions, including intracranial aneurysm coiling and carotid stenting procedures.
Features and applications
Ultrasound system - Philips iU22
The premium performance ultrasound system captures crisp, high-resolution images even in technically challenging situations. It makes easy to add 3D imaging to any exam by removing the barriers to volume imaging and a host of workflow enhancers facilitate faster exams, enabling perfect image optimization.
Features
PACS (Picture archiving and communication system)
Makes the department more efficient, enables increased productivity, and allows department to more effectively serve hospital staff, patients, and referring physicians. It forms a comprehensive, fully-integrated solution that meets all digital needs. In addition to RIS, the system features state of the art Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), medical reporting, solution monitoring & management services (SMMS), and audit services. Integrated with other hospital systems, such as hospital information systems (HIS) and Electronic Patient Records (EPR), the benefits of RIS extend well beyond radiology.
Features
Radiofrequency Ablation - Celon POWER
Radiofrequency ablation system provides the latest innovative radiofrequency technology for the precise and efficient ablation of tumors, varicose veins, inter vertebral disc diseases, denervation and other diseases using bipolar radiofrequency. Main benefit of the bipolar technology is the restriction of radiofrequency current flow to the volume under treatment (e.g. tumour), as a result of which undesirable side-effects are avoided. In addition to the above, no neutral electrodes are required, which means simplification of the patient's preparation, cost reduction and increased safety.
Features
Computed and Digital Radiography (CR and DR) - Agfa and Cura
Flexible, high quality digital imaging solution enables seamless integration of the X-ray generator with the hospital or radiology information system. Innovative high end advanced flat panel detectors provide outstanding image quality, optimal workflow and operability.

Mentors
Prof. Mahadevan Pillai was born in Kayamkulam (Kerala) in 1908. He took his medical training at Vizag Medical college. After completing a Diploma in Medical Radiology from UK, he worked in the Dept of Radiology at Madras Medical College (Barnard Institute). It is here that he popularized the use of neuroradiological investigations, in association with Dr.Ramamurthi. After short stints as professor of radiology at NIMHANS and Medical College Trivandrum, he joined the institute as the head of the department of radiology. He retained the position from 1975 to 1979. During his tenure at this department, he set high standards of quality for radiological investigations.
Prof.Sashidharan who graduated from Banaras Hindu University and also completed his postgraduate training in radiology at the same institute and joined the institute as an assistant professor in 1976. He was later promoted to the post of associate professor and then headed the department from 1981 - 1983.
Prof.V.R.K.Rao (Vedula Rajani Kanth Rao) was born at Anakapalle in Andhra Pradesh in 1948. He graduated from Andhra Medical College, Visakhapatnam in 1970 and pursued his postgraduate program in Radiology at Safdarjang Hospital, Delhi University and at Banaras Hindu University. He joined the department as Assistant Professor in Radiology in early 1977 and later was in charge of the department from 1986 till 1993 as Professor and Head. He contributed to the birth and growth of Interventional Radiology at this Institute with recognition of the Institute at the national level. Simultaneously useful efforts were made by him to develop biomaterials for Therapeutic Endovascular Neurointervention.
Prof. Kolathu Ravi Mandalam was born in New Delhi in 1954. He graduated from Maulana Azad Medical College, New Delhi and completed his post graduation in radiology from the same institute. After a short period of residency at Safdarjung Hospital, New Delhi, he joined the Department of radiology at SCTIMST. As a team with Prof.V.R.K. Rao and later as the head of the department, he has guided the department to national fame in the field of diagnostic and interventional cardiovascular radiology.
