Academics / Courses Conducted
The department has been continuously engaged in various teaching programmes and academic research activities with the view of establishing excellence in the subject of Neuroradiology. A National Committee consisting of pioneers in the fields of radiology emphasized the need to establish a superspeciality course in Neuroradiology. The department of Neuroimaging & Interventional Radiology, NIMHANS, was recognized as the center to start the DM Course programme in Neuroradiology. The department is running a three year post MD programme leading to DM Degree in Neuroradiology since year 2000. Two DM Neuroradiology students are admitted in each academic year. At present, there are six Senior Residents undergoing training in all aspects of Neuroradiology. Ph.D programme has been started in the department.
Our department offers the following programmes:

- Activities of the trainee
- Patient Care: The candidate is provided with the necessary knowledge and skill that he may be able to:
- Help the physician/surgeon in choosing the right investigation/interventional Procedure by routine interactions.
- Plan, modify and execute diagnostic and interventional procedures independently or with assistance if necessary.
- Manage the patient post-procedure.
- Handle neurological emergencies
- Interpret radiological examinations of body systems other than CNS as well.
Emergency management of patients with head injury, spinal injury, raised intracranial tension, subarachnoid haemorrhage and strokes requiring neuroradiologic evaluations. The candidate will be required to have a thorough knowledge of such emergency procedures and be able to respond intelligently and quickly to these needs. 4
- Research paper
The candidate should design and conduct clinical or perimental research under the guidance of an accredited guide. The research paper should be of high order and may be in the form of an original article or manuscript fit for publication or already published in any approved journal.
iii. Teaching
The candidate will participate in all the teaching assignments of the department. This will include:
- Journal reviews, case reviews, inter-departmental conferences and the like.
- Present cases at the intra and interdepartmental conferences.
- Daily supervised film-reading sessions:
Concurrently with the clinical training, the candidates shall be required
To attend lectures in Neuro-anatomy, Embryology, Neuropathology,
Neurochemistry and Pharmacology as related toNeuroradiology.

Future Plans:
The department intends to provide a regular and sustained clinical service to patients with acute brain stroke, like thrombolysis, angioplasty and stenting, endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms, AVMs and fistulae.The department has reached a state of excellence in Neuroimaging. This has been possible with MR imaging opening up new research areas like functional imaging spectroscopy. Addition of research capabilities like Single Photon Emission Tomography and Positron Emission Tomography would provide a major thrust in basic and clinical brain research.
- Initiation of theranostics services
- Addition of new therapeutic services like pain management and stroke interventions.
- Increasing the number of seats in DM.
- Starting PDF programmes in diagnostic neuroradiology, functional imaging and interventional radiology.
