About the Department
Our Radiology Department has a set of expert and experienced Radiologists of Kerala. The department findings helps the doctors in finding out the anomalies in human body with improved perfection.
Our Radio Diagnosis equipments CT Scan and MRI Scan Machines are of the most advanced technology and first of their kind in Kozhikode and in Kerala.
Clinical Focus
Radiology Department of Malabar Medical College focuses on improved diagnosis of the diseases with much more perfection than it was earlier.- Eliminate the need for exploratory surgery.
- Used to determine when a patient needs surgery.
- Assists in making a diagnosis and further management of most body conditions.
- Interventional radiology, which involves treatment as well as diagnosis, involves less risk, a shorter recovery time and less time in hospital than open surgery or key-hole (laparoscopic) surgery.
- Used to visually guide the treatment of conditions such as heart disease and stroke.
- Used in screening for diseases such as breast cancer (mammography), with early detection reducing the mortality rate.
- Improves cancer diagnosis and is also an effective treatment for cancer and other diseases (known as radiation oncology or radiation therapy).
