Patient Care
Doctors in the department of anaesthesiology anaesthetise patients of all age group including pre-
term infants to Geriatric age. Department has facilities for anaesthetising patients coming for
surgeries under various departments like General Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynaecology,
Orthopaedics, ENT, Ophthalmology, Neurosurgery, Plastic Surgery, Urology, Paediatric Surgery,
Cardiac Surgery and Oro-facio-maxillary Surgery. Anaesthesia services outside OT include Pre-
anaesthetic evaluation clinic, Electroconvulsive therapy, and during Endoscopies. Department has a
variety of airway gadgets like Laryngoscopes, Laryngeal Mask Airways, Fibreoptic bronchoscope,
bougie etc. for managing difficult airways. Other facilities include invasive blood pressure
monitoring, Peripheral nerve stimulator for giving nerve blocks etc.
Treatment Facilities
A team of trained Anaesthesiologists is involved in various forms of treatment such as Labour
Analgesia and “Pain clinic” for chronic pain management. They are involved in Intensive Care of
patients admitted in various ICUs. Patients requiring anaesthesia services here are generally sicker,
with multiple co-morbid diseases like diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease, stroke,
respiratory diseases, renal failure, deranged liver function etc who require advanced monitoring and
expert handling to ensure safety, faster recovery and better outcome of the patients.
Teaching Program
MBBS students are exposed to the subject of anaesthesiology during their final year. Weekly
lectures covering various relevant aspects anaesthesiology including the history and scope of
anaesthesia are conducted. They also get exposed to various anaesthetic procedures in the
operation theatre during their OT postings. Postgraduates are being trained in pre-anaesthetic
evaluation, all sub-specialities of anaesthesiology, intensive care, pain and palliative care. They
have a structured program of practical training on rotational basis in all sub-specialities of
anaesthesia to make them confident of handling variety of patients. They are also presenting
seminars, journal clubs and clinical cases as per the RGUHS guidelines. They are evaluated
periodically for their proficiency in theory as well as practical work. Postgraduates are also trained to
conduct a scientific clinical research by the way of dissertations. They are allowed to conduct
elective as well as emergency cases under the direct supervision of concerned faculty. Students of
various paramedical courses like Anaesthesia Technician [Diploma in Operation Theatre Technology
(DOTT) are trained here with a thorough exposure to the practical aspects. They are taught about
the principles of asepsis, sterilization of instruments, arranging OT equipment and assisting in
anaesthesia and surgical procedures.

Radio Diagnosis & Imaging

The Department of Imaging and Radio-diagnosis in SDMCMS&H is a specialized and a highly
equipped unit providing state of the art services to the patients. The main aim is to practice a good
clinical radiology with the help of various imaging modalities ranging from the very basic
conventional radiography to few of the very advanced techniques like MR spectroscopy, perfusion
MRI, Diffusion TENSOR imaging, MDCT investigations etc, thus helping the clinicians in all possible
ways to reach to accurate diagnosis.
The department is equipped with the recent most version PACS and shortly awaiting tele-radiology.
In spite of all these recent advances, adequate importance is given to the conventional radiology
with a fully functioning dark room available in the department for emergency and teaching purposes.

The department is headed by Dr. Shyamsundar Joshi, MBBS, MD (PGI), DMRD, Principal,
SDMCMS&H, an excellent clinician and a dedicated academician who is serving in the field of
radiology for over 35 years. Having secured a merit certificate and silver medal in PGI Chandigarh
for being 1st in M.D. exams, he is credited for starting and developing the imaging departments in
many medical colleges during his tenure. His work in ultrasound imaging is extraordinary with an
extensive research in cheek and oral cavity ultrasound. Apart from this, his work in the field of
research and publications makes him a distinguished personality. He has presented papers in
various national and international conferences. He has delivered more than 100 lectures at state,
national and international level.
Department is equipped with 3 X-ray units with conventional and video fluoroscopy integrated with
the CR system along with 8 portable X-ray machines.
CR system with 24 CR cassettes, two dry view cameras, two laser printers, and X-ray film
digitalizer.
PACS – System: The images captured on CR system are easily made available within a few
minutes, to the clinician on their personal computers, about 75 in number, located in OPD, Wards,
OT and casualty etc.
This has grossly reduced the waiting period for image viewing and hence faster patient disposal. The
reports too are pushed through HIS coupled with RIS.
Additional advantages areno film loss, far better image quality, no need to physically store the
images. Easy to maintain the records on large memory devices and equally easier to archive the
images within a short time of afew seconds.
Whole of this system has made our department as a filmless department. Image prints are given on
request either on CD or laser prints at nominal charges.
Ultrasonography
The department is equipped with 6 high end ultrasound units with thermal printers and 2 portable
machines and 1 ECHO machine. We have recently added two more portable USG units exclusively
for NICU and theatre.
Investigations are performed at ultrasonography section include
 Conventional utrasonography
 High resolution scan for musculoskeletal system with panoramic imaging wherever required.
 Small part studies including sono-mammography
 Endo cavitatory ultrasound,
 Neonatal ultrasound with specialized probes.
 Colour Doppler studies
 3D/4D ultrasound
 Guided interventions
Mammography: The department is equipped with a high end mammography unit for breast cancer
screening.
CT unit.
We have commissioned MDCT ( Multi Detector CT)128 slices, dual energy CT scanner adding
strength to the departmental diagnostic performance.
All the earlier CT investigations like Denta scan, Virtual CT bronchoscopy and colonoscopy, Multi-
planer reconstruction, 3D and VRT, Perfusion scan and guided interventional procedures are
performed with highly improved image quality and lesser scan time.
Added advantages are :

Very short scan time e.g. whole body scan from head to toe, especially in poly trauma cases, can be
covered in 10 to 12 seconds.
MDCT angiographies of any part of the body, MDCT coronary angiography with superb
reconstructed images, is being regularly performed.
Being Dual energy Unit, Stone evaluation, metal artifact removal and other applications are being
regularly performed.
Middle and inner ear studies can be performed utilizing sub-millimeter slice thickness.
All the post-processed images are of high quality produced within short period due to faster
performance with thinner slices.
The department is also equipped with the state of the art 1.5 T MRI with 10 coils including special
coils for wrist, shoulder, ankle and temporo-mandibular joint. Special studies which are done using
this equipment include
 Volumetric brain imaging

 Diffusion, ADC mapping , diffusion TENSOR imaging, tractography
 Perfusion imaging.
 Chemical shift imaging (MR spectroscopy) with low, intermediate and high TE values.
 Motion correction software for brain imaging.
 Angiograms and venograms (2D and 3D TOF, PHASE CONTRAST, FLUORO-TRIGGERED
contrast angiogram),
 3D FIESTA for cranial nerves
 Basic functional imaging
 Cartigrams and gradient imaging
 Whole spine coronal pasted images
 Whole body diffusion imaging
 Multiphasic tissue enhancement for abdomen and pelvis (LAVA)
 Multiphasic contrast angiogram(TRICKS).
 MRCP, MRuroraphy and MR myelography.
Teaching Program
The department is academically comparable with few of the apex departments in India. The
department is equipped with an extensive image library, e-library, and a video library.
It has excellent teaching faculty interested in teaching, conducting all the teaching programs and
guiding the students accordingly.
We have apart from UG training program, PG degree (M.D.) and Diploma, (DMRD)courses are
being conducted.
We have introduced on-line teaching program for PGs, in collaboration with some of the
teaching faculties from overseas Universities.
It has a separate departmental book library and a museum with many interesting radiological
artifacts. The department conducts regular clinical postings for undergraduates and special postings
for dental postgraduates. Regular seminars on interesting topics are conducted in the department.
Specialized training programs and observer ship programs for ultrasound, CT and MRI are also
being conducted in the department. The department conducts certificate and diploma courses in
radiography. Specialized training programs for medical engineers are also conducted in the
department.
