Introduction of CT SCAN in the hospital Diagnostic division was a great leap in its history in the year 1986.A whole body CT scanner was imported from Hitachi Japan CT W 220. The department was headed by Dr.P.N.Nathani and Dr.Ashok Tyagi. A complete whole body scanning was made possible.

Radiologist Dr.Ashok Tyagi, started CT guided biopsies from various parts of the body. CT guided biopsy from the intracranial lesions was performed with a twist drill hole in the bony skull, done by the then head of Neurosurgery Dr.V.G.Dakwale.

The department since 1996 is headed by Dr.Ashok Tyagi and is performing complete and patient oriented services of CT scan including HRCT, 3D scanning CT guided procedures. Mammography was introduced in the year 1997 and more than 600 cases are done so far with positive results.

A Steriotactic frame from LEKSELL was introduced for the first time in the state of MP whereby it was now possible to evacuate Intracerebral Haematomas from the deep brain under local anesthesia. Biopsies from deep-seated intracranial lesions were made possible with great precision under local anesthesia. A series of cases of colloid cyst aspiration and their complete resection which is located in the middle of brain is on in the hospital. Two-year follow up of these cases reveal no recurrence.

Recently 1.5 Tesla MRI is introduced in the Hospital from Siemens, with complete coils. Spectroscopy and now MR guided Steriotactic procedures like Thalamotomy, epilepsy surgery, Lesion maker and ablation of epileptic focuses of brain is underway. With the introduction of Spectroscopy it is possible to diagnose a benigne lesion and differentiate with malignant lesion with absolute accuracy.
