Advanced Radiology Care. Built Around Expertise, Precision and Outcomes.
At SIMS Hospitals, the Institute of Radiology, Imaging and Interventions is one of Chennai’s most comprehensive and clinically integrated radiology centres. Led by senior radiologists who have authored multiple textbooks used across the country, the institute brings together subspecialty expertise in neuroradiology, gastrointestinal radiology, musculoskeletal imaging, oncology imaging, and body imaging, supported by advanced technology that delivers diagnostic clarity, faster turnaround, and a more comfortable experience for every patient.
Radiology today demands more than equipment. It requires subspecialty knowledge to interpret complex images accurately, clinical integration to contribute meaningfully to treatment decisions, and communication discipline to deliver findings that are timely, clear, and actionable. At SIMS, every report is the product of genuine specialist expertise and not a routine read, but a considered clinical opinion that supports patient management.
Radiologists at SIMS participate in daily multidisciplinary meetings alongside treating physicians, contributing to treatment planning across neurosciences, oncology, cardiology, gastroenterology, orthopaedics, and transplant medicine. Referring doctors receive structured, clearly communicated reports, while patients are cared for in an environment designed to reduce the anxiety that imaging can often bring.
Two 128-slice CT scanners delivering high-resolution cross-sectional imaging with rapid acquisition and low radiation dose protocols across the full range of clinical indications, from CT brain and CT angiography to whole-body oncology staging and CT-guided interventional procedures.
A 1.5 Tesla MRI scanner with advanced sequences including diffusion-weighted imaging, MR spectroscopy, functional MRI, and MR angiography, providing detailed assessment of the brain, spine, joints, soft tissues, and abdominal organs for neurological, oncological, musculoskeletal, and vascular evaluation.
High-performance ultrasound and Doppler imaging for abdominal organs, blood vessels, soft tissues, thyroid, breast, and obstetric and gynaecological assessment, with guidance capability for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
A comprehensive programme of image-guided, minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures performed under ultrasound, fluoroscopy, or CT guidance, including biopsy, abscess and effusion drainage, biliary and nephrostomy drainage, vascular interventions, and tumour ablation.
CT coronary angiography and cardiac MRI for assessment of coronary artery disease, cardiac structure and function, myocardial viability, and complex congenital cardiac conditions, in close support of the Institute of Cardiac Sciences.
Digital mammography and ultrasound-guided breast evaluation for screening and diagnostic assessment of breast conditions, with reports reviewed by experienced radiologists committed to the highest standard of breast cancer detection.
Subspecialty neuroradiology for complex brain and spine imaging including brain tumours, stroke, demyelinating disease, epilepsy, neurovascular conditions, and spine pathology, working in close daily collaboration with the SIMS Institute of Neurosciences.
Subspecialty expertise in hepatobiliary, pancreatic, gastrointestinal, renal, adrenal, and retroperitoneal imaging, supporting gastroenterology, hepatology, urology, and oncology teams with precise reporting on complex abdominal and pelvic pathology.
Comprehensive cancer imaging across all oncology specialties covering staging, treatment response assessment, and surveillance, using CT, MRI, and PET-CT in close collaboration with the SIMS oncology multidisciplinary tumour board.
Subspecialty musculoskeletal radiology for joint disease, ligament and tendon injuries, bone tumours, stress fractures, and post-surgical assessment, providing imaging interpretation that directly informs orthopaedic and sports medicine clinical management.
Our integrated model ensures radiologists are active clinical partners, contributing to multidisciplinary meetings, supporting treatment planning, and delivering reports that are clinically meaningful, not just technically adequate.
The Institute provides the full range of diagnostic imaging and interventional radiology services, including:
Supported by two 128-slice CT scanners, a 1.5 Tesla MRI, high-performance ultrasound and Doppler systems, digital mammography, fluoroscopy, and a PACS-integrated digital reporting infrastructure for seamless clinical communication.
At SIMS Hospitals, technology in radiology is an investment in more accurate diagnoses, earlier detection, and better-informed clinical decisions.
Two 128-slice CT scanners, a 1.5 Tesla MRI with advanced imaging capability, high-performance Doppler ultrasound, digital mammography, and PACS-integrated reporting allow the radiology team to produce high-quality imaging, report efficiently, and communicate findings in a way that is directly useful to the clinical teams making treatment decisions.
Every patient encounter is managed with the care and attention that a diagnostic investigation deserves, because for the patient, a radiology appointment is rarely routine, and the team at SIMS understands that.
Two 128-slice CT scanners with low radiation dose protocols, rapid acquisition capability, and wide clinical versatility for the full range of diagnostic and interventional CT indications.
A 1.5 Tesla MRI scanner with advanced sequence capability including diffusion-weighted imaging, MR spectroscopy, functional MRI, and MR angiography for detailed neurological, oncological, musculoskeletal, and vascular imaging.
High-performance ultrasound machines with Doppler capability for vascular, abdominal, obstetric, gynaecological, and small parts imaging, with guided biopsy and drainage procedure capability.
A dedicated facility for image-guided interventional procedures under ultrasound, fluoroscopy, and CT guidance, covering biopsy, drainage, vascular intervention, and ablation procedures.
Digital mammography for high-resolution breast cancer screening and diagnostic evaluation.
A fully integrated PACS system for digital image storage, rapid retrieval, structured report generation, and seamless cross-departmental access to imaging and reports.
Delivering world-class radiology through advanced imaging technology, subspecialty clinical expertise, and genuine clinical integration from emergency imaging and interventional procedures to complex oncology staging and subspecialty neuroradiology, we support every clinical team with the diagnostic intelligence they need.
Radiology underpins clinical decision-making across every specialty, and its quality is determined not by the machines alone but by the expertise of the radiologists reading the images. At SIMS Hospitals, that expertise is genuine, a team led by senior radiologists who have authored multiple nationally used textbooks, with subspecialty depth in neuroradiology, body imaging, musculoskeletal radiology, oncology imaging, and interventional radiology.
The institute’s daily participation in multidisciplinary meetings across neurosciences, oncology, gastroenterology, cardiology, and orthopaedics reflects a model where radiology is a clinical partner, not a reporting service. That distinction matters for patients, because it means their imaging is not just read and it is understood in clinical context, communicated clearly, and used to make better treatment decisions.
Our commitment to excellence ensures the highest quality of care and patient safety.
