About the Department

Our founder director, Prof Ashok Kumar Mohapatra, inaugurated the Dept. with digital radiography, ultrasonography, and 64 Slice CT scan machine on December 27, 2013.

Since then, it has grown into one of the most advanced and well-equipped Dept. armed with state-of-the-art machines, handled by competent Radiologists and well-trained, experienced technologists. This Dept is ever ready (24x7) to serve the people of Odisha and people neighboring states. This Dept is a premier Dept of this institute catering to almost all modern imaging technique & playing a vital role in diagnostic & therapeutic aspects. To strengthen the academic activities in medical education, the Dept. had started postgraduate teaching programs in 2017. At present, 13 postgraduate students are undergoing training in all aspects of the fascinating field of radiology by a dedicated team of competent radiologists & technical staff. Currently, we have five senior residents working in our department.

We have also started a Post-doctoral certificate course (P.D.C.C.) in diagnostic neuroimaging in 2019 in the Dept.

The Dept. has also started BSc. M.T.R. (medical technology in radiography) course in 2016 with an annual intake of 13 students with its modern advanced equipment. The academics of the M.T.R. course at A.I.I.M.S., Bhubaneswar, are well designed to accomplish students in a highly competitive world.

We conduct the academic activities of the U.G., P.G., P.D.C.C., BSc M.T.R. regularly. The research activities & publication from this Dept are exceptional & deserves international repute.

H.O.D.' S MESSAGE

           It is indeed a proud privilege on my part to express a few words about the Dept

          as the founder professor & head of the Dept. of Radiodiagnosis and Interventional   

          radiology.

          The branch of medicine deals with applying medical imaging technology to arrive

          at an accurate diagnosis to aid in patient management. It is the most rapidly  

          evolving branch of medicine. Radiologists are specialists who view and interpret

          the images and identify the abnormality to diagnose a disease entity. In addition to

          providing a diagnosis, radiologists also perform image-guided interventions, which

         are minimally invasive therapeutic procedures to treat diseases.

         Ever since the creation of the Department, this Dept has never looked back on  

        providing auxiliary services to the clinician for timely management of the patient.

        Currently, this Dept is functioning with world-class faculty, paramedical staff and is

        equipped with state-of-the-art machines to meet any challenge in the diagnostic and

        emerging arena. With a very high patient load, a well-structured academic program,

        and a lot of scope for research, the postgraduate students have an approachable and

        highly professional departmental environment with a lot of content for excelling in

        the educational and research fronts. The alumni emerging from the portals of this

        Department always have a cutting edge above the rest wherever they go.

        My long-term vision is to be recognized as the Dept in the international platform

        while subserving the best service to the needy. The entire motto is to deliver timely,

        efficient radiological diagnostic & therapeutic services to needy people apart from

        working hand to hand with the clinician to facilitate the patient care delivery system

        round the clock. The entire machinery is engaged in helping the clinician to arrive

        at the diagnosis & therapeutic intervention.

        Visionary augmentation of this Department is to provide better service to the people,

        academic pursuit & research in all aspects to meet the scientific development

        challenge.
