Overview

The department of Radiology was started in 1958 with a X-ray unit. Today we are equipped with “State of art” equipments with Digital X-ray, Full field digital Mammogram with Tomosynthesis, high end Ultrasound with color Doppler, 256 slice CT, 1.5 Tesla MRI, Bone Mineral density. We function 24 x 7 with interpretation of images by well qualified and experienced Radiologists.

Picture Archival and communication systems (PACS) was installed in 2006 for the first time in Coimbatore, in which all your Radiology images and reports are stored perpetually.

Unique Features

Stroke Management

We are fully prepared to prioritize patients presenting with stroke and remove the clot in the blood vessels to brain within 60 minutes of arrival (Mechanical Thrombectomy). This results in dramatic recovery of neurological function and markedly reduced hospital stay and complication.

Intracranial Aneurysm Treatments

Through small holes of a few millimeters in your blood vessel in your groin, the life threatening aneurysm in blood vessels around brain can be treated with coils, thereby avoiding all the risks of an open surgical procedure. Even large aneurysm can be treated with devices called “FLOW DIVERTORS” GKNM Hospital is one of few centers to have successfully carried out this procedure.

256 slice CT Scan

This is a “State of art” machine capable of scanning your heart in 3 beats. This is designed to scan with least amount of radiation and contrast dose. The advantages can also be experienced while scanning of brain, chest and abdomen.

Radiation Safety

Whether it is a simple X-ray or Mammogram or CT Scan we have the latest equipment to deliver the lowest possible Radiation dose with optimal image quality. Protocols (doses) are individualized to every patient based on size and weight with special attention to childern.
