Overview

Interventional Radiology is a clinical branch of medicine which deals with a variety of therapeutic and diagnostic procedures that are performed using minimally invasive image-guided techniques.

The aim of MGMCH is to provides state of the art imaging facilities and innovative minimally invasive interventional procedures at affordable prices making quality healthcare services accessible to all.

Department of Interventional radiology was started in this institute in 2018.

Since then, department is continuously growing in terms of increase number of patients, increase number of various interventional procedures & number of Faculty members.

Two seats of D.M. Interventional Radiology were allotted by N.M.C. to the department in year 2021. First batch of two students in D.M. Interventional Radiology was started in year 2022 in our Institute. Another batch of two students admitted in year 2023, hence at present our dept is having total four residents.

Instead of open surgery, these procedures are done in minimally-invasive techniques which minimizes blood loss. These procedures are now performed at our MGMCH and are well-known to shorten hospital stay and patient recovery times.

Advantages of dept of IR are

  • The endovascular approach ensures minimal injury to normal tissue
  • It has fewer complications, better outcomes and ensures shorter hospital stay
  • Enables treatment of complex diseases, which could not be treated in the past by reaching areas which are deep seated or not accessible to open surgery.
