Conventional Radiology forms the backbone of the department of Radio-diagnosis. The majority of patients entering the department are referred for plain radiographs of the chest, abdomen and bones. The department has two 500 mA x-ray machines and two Mass Miniature Radiography (MMR) units for this purpose. In addition, there are four-x-ray units equipped with Image Intensifier-TV systems on which fluoroscopy guided investigations are carried out.

A large number of specialized contrast procedures such as Barium studies, intravenous Urography. Cystourethrograms, Myelograms and Angiograms are performed on these x-ray machines. The image intensifier TV systems used for performing these procedures enable more accurate diagnosis and significant reduction in radiation dose to patients.
