Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, KIMS Hospitals, Mahadevapura
Radiology helps doctors diagnose and treat diseases through advanced imaging technology. KIMS Hospital, Mahadevapura's Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, leads medical imaging by providing diagnostic services and minimally invasive treatments to patients.
Medical imaging has advanced a lot in recent years. New tools offer better ways to diagnose. Interventional radiology has become a focused area where doctors do less invasive treatments using images to guide them. Instead of big surgeries, doctors now use small cuts along with thin needles and wires to access deep parts of the body. Diagnostic imaging keeps advancing with CT scans, MRI, mammography and ultrasound as the most common tests. These medical breakthroughs make a real difference.
Overview of the Department at KIMS Hospitals, Mahadevapura
At KIMS Hospital's Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology:
Patients can access a complete range of diagnostic and interventional radiological procedures. State-of-the-art technology powers precise diagnosis and treatment at this facility. The facility provides sophisticated interventional radiology services through dedicated DSA (Digital Subtraction Angiography) equipment. These procedures offer alternatives to traditional surgery, and patients experience less discomfort and recover faster. Services run 24/7, so emergency cases receive immediate attention. At KIMS Hospital Mahadevapura, dedicated specialists and the core team operate advanced equipment and deliver excellent patient care.
Tests and Treatment Available
Diagnostic Imaging Machines at Mahadevapura:
GE Prodigy DXA (Bone Strength and Body Scanner)
This cutting-edge scanner lets our radiologists measure your bone density and check how your body is composed. It allows doctors to spot osteoporosis and problems related to metabolism.
GE Senographe Pristina (3D Mammography Machine)
This mammography machine includes 3D tomosynthesis. It captures the image for dense breast tissue better. It detects breast cancer in early stages.
GE Revolution Maxima (AI-Enhanced 128 Slice CT Scanner)
This CT scanner uses AI to position patients and reconstruct images with deep learning. It produces clear imaging to diagnose cardiac, neurological, and full-body conditions while keeping radiation levels low.
Wipro GE 3T MRI – Model Hero
This is a high-quality MRI system. This model provides very clear images of muscles and nerves. AI tools further improve scanning speed and provide more accurate results.
United Imaging uMI 550 (Integrated PET-CT Platform)
This hybrid scanner mixes PET's ability to see metabolic changes with CT's detailed anatomic views. With the help of this scanner, our doctors can easily detect and monitor cancer, heart problems, and brain-related conditions.
GE NM/CT 850 (Hybrid SPECT-CT Scanner)
The scanner combines nuclear imaging with CT scans. It gives clearer diagnostics in fields like cardiology, neurology and oncology. It helps identify diseases in their early stages.

Special Interventional Radiology Equipment at Mahadevapura:
GE Innova IGS 520 (Cardiac & Vascular Cath Lab System)
This imaging system helps doctors perform procedures like angiography, stenting and electrophysiology. It combines 3D navigation with low-dose imaging to make treatments safer and more efficient.
Brainlab Robotic Suite (Loop-X, Curve, Cirq)
Though created for surgeries, this setup combines portable 2D and 3D imaging with navigation tools to assist in invasive procedures guided by imaging.
Diseases Treated in the Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology
KIMS Hospital's diagnostic and interventional radiology team helps patients with medical conditions through identification and treatment. Their expertise covers all body systems and provides solutions to patients with different health problems.
Vascular conditions: Doctors use precise imaging to find arterial blockages that could cause strokes or limb loss, then perform targeted treatments. They give special attention to blood vessel problems like aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations to prevent life-threatening ruptures.
Oncology: Cancer patients get great benefits from the department's advanced capabilities. The team finds cancers through imaging and delivers targeted treatments. Liver tumours respond well to chemoembolisation, while lung and kidney masses can be treated with radiofrequency ablation that destroys cancer cells with heat from electrical current.
Digestive system: At KIMS Hospital Mahadevapura, our team customise treatment plans through minimally invasive procedures or traditional surgery.
Bone and joint conditions: The team focuses on bone and joint issues. Orthopaedic experts assess your joint problems using a complete MRI scan before beginning treatment. Older adults with spinal compression fractures can receive vertebroplasty. This procedure repairs damaged vertebrae by using medical-grade cement.
Neurological conditions: The department relies on advanced imaging to offer detailed care to patients with neurological disorders. These range from issues like brain aneurysms to spinal deformities.
Gynaecology health: At KIMS Hospital in Mahadevapura, women facing health concerns such as PCOS, uterine fibroids or fertility challenges can have tailored interventional treatments. These procedures aim to treat symptoms while maintaining fertility.
The team focuses on minimally invasive alternatives than traditional surgery. This leads to faster recovery times and fewer complications for patients of every age.
