Mission

  • To train the Undergraduates & Postgraduates in high Quality Diagnostic & Interventional Radiology care.
  • To collaborate with national & international institutes for knowledge sharing & excellence.
  • To provide quality Radiological imaging service for 24 x 7.
  • To promote ethical Radiological research for improved patient out come.

Program Specific Outcomes

Generic outcome

To make students realize the basic need of various radio-diagnostic tools in medical practice. They should be aware of the techniques required to be undertaken in different situations for the diagnosis of various ailments as well as during prognostic estimations.

Program Specific Outcome

1. Understanding of indications for various radiological investigations in common clinical practice.

2. Ability to identify abnormalities in common radiological investigations.

3. Awareness of the ill effects of radiation and various radiation protective measures to be employed.

Program Specific Outcomes (PSOs)-PG

The objective of the program is to train a student to become a skilled and competent radiologist to conduct and interpret various diagnostic/interventional imaging studies (both conventional and advanced imaging), to organize and conduct research and teaching activities and be well versed with medical ethics and legal aspects of imaging/ intervention.
