KG Hospital's NABH/MIS -accredited Radiology department combines
Accurate imaging is the foundation of modern medicine. KG Hospital's Radiology department is equipped with the most advanced diagnostic technology with state of the art machines in Tamil Nadu, operated by subspecialty-trained consultant radiologists. Every report is double-read for critical findings and delivered digitally via PACS to all treating doctors within the hospital.
Our PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) eNABH/MIS es instant image sharing across departments and with referring physicians, facilitating seamless multidisciplinary care and teleradiology consultations.
3T MRI and 128-slice CT for neurological, cardiovascular, oncological, and musculoskeletal imaging with same-day reports for urgent cases.
Image-guided minimally invasive procedures — angioplasty, embolisation, biopsies, drainage, and tumour ablation — avoiding open surgery.
Every study is performed on accredited equipment, reported by a qualified consultant radiologist or nuclear medicine physician, and delivered via PACS.

KG Hospital's 3T MRI system delivers superior image resolution and diagnostic confidence compared to standard 1.5T scanners — twice the signal-to-noise ratio, Ratio, Enabling thinner slices, faster scans, and more diagnostic detail for neurological, cardiac, and oncological applications.
High-resolution MRI for stroke, brain tumours, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, dementia, white matter disease, and spinal cord pathology. Specialised sequences include DWI, ADC maps, FLAIR, SWI, perfusion imaging, and MR spectroscopy.
Cardiac MRI is the gold standard for myocardial viability, cardiomyopathy, congenital heart disease, and pericardial pathology. Cine MRI gives precise LV/RV volumes and ejection fraction without radiation.
3T MRI provides exquisite detail for ACL/PCL tears, rotator cuff, cartilage defects, bone marrow oedema, and soft tissue tumours across knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, and wrist.
Multiparametric MRI for liver lesion characterisation (LI-RADS), prostate mp-MRI with PI-RADS v2.1 scoring, breast MRI for dense breasts, rectal MRI for T-staging and CRM assessment, and renal mass characterisation.
KG Hospital's 128-slice CT provides near-isotropic volumetric datasets for multiplanar and 3D reconstruction — 2 Enabling surgical planning, vascular imaging, and emergency diagnosis with ultra-low dose protocols.
Emergency non-contrast CT brain within 15 min. CT perfusion for penumbra assessment. CTA neck and intracranial for vessel occlusion. Available 24/7.
CT pulmonary angiography for suspected PE with right heart strain assessment. Emergency reports within 1 hour, 24/7.
Non-invasive coronary imaging with CAD-RADS scoring, calcium scoring (Agatston), and CT-FFR (fractional flow reserve by CT).
Triple-phase liver, renal mass, CT urogram, oncology staging, acute abdomen, and bowel protocols with multiplanar reconstruction.
Peripheral arterial, aorta, mesenteric, renal, and cerebral CTA for vascular disease characterisation and surgical planning.
CT-guided FNAC, trucut biopsy, and abscess drainage — minimally invasive, precise, and performed under local anaesthesia.
KG Hospital's ultrasound suite operates high-end machines with tissue elastography and 4D imaging. Consultant Radiologists and sonologists supervise all studies for real-time assessment and same-day reporting.
4D scan, dating, fetal anomaly scan (18–22 weeks), growth scan, Doppler velocimetry, placental and cervical length assessment.
Liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidney, bladder, and pelvic organs. CEUS for liver lesion characterisation. Elastography for liver fibrosis.
Carotid IMT, peripheral arterial and venous Doppler, DVT protocol, renal artery Doppler, and portal venous flow assessment.
FNAC, trucut biopsy, aspiration, joint injection, pleural tapping, ascites drainage, and line placement under ultrasound guidance.
Dynamic tendon, ligament, and muscle pathology assessment. Shoulder and ankle dynamic views. US-guided tendon injection.
Thyroid, salivary gland, superficial lymph nodes, breast, scrotal, and small parts — with elastography and colour Doppler.
Interventional radiology (IR) uses Biplane Cathlab, X-ray, CT, or Ultrasound guidance to perform procedures through a needle or 2–3 mm nick in the skin — often replacing open surgery. KG Hospital's IR suite is equipped with a digital angiography suite and cone-beam CT.
Peripheral arterial angioplasty and stenting for limb ischaemia, renal artery stenting, visceral angiography and embolisation for haemorrhage, uterine fibroid embolisation (UFE) as alternative to hysterectomy, and TIPS for portal hypertension.
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and microwave ablation (MWA) use heat to destroy liver tumours (HCC, metastases), renal cell carcinoma, lung metastases, and bone lesions under CT or ultrasound guidance — day-case procedure, conscious sedation.
Percutaneous image-guided drainage for abdominal abscesses, biliary drainage (PTBD) for obstructive jaundice, nephrostomy for urinary obstruction, pigtail drains for pleural and pericardial effusions, and tunnelled central venous catheters.
KG Hospital's fully digital X-ray department is PACS-integrated — images are available on clinicians' screens within minutes of acquisition. Fluoroscopy with image intensifier is available for contrast studies and surgical guidance.
All standard radiographs with digital processing and immediate PACS upload — visible to all treating doctors within minutes.
Dynamic contrast studies using image intensifier with digital recording for functional and anatomical assessment.
KG Hospital provides 24/7 emergency imaging — CT brain for stroke, CTPA for PE, emergency ultrasound — with on-call radiologist report within 1 hour.
