Imaging Institute radiologists are leaders in their specialties. They are responsible for the publication of numerous peer-reviewed manuscripts each year, serve on committees of the most prestigious radiologic societies and are involved in cutting-edge research. This research encompasses treatment of acute stroke, magnetic resonance angiography, three-dimensional imaging, digital radiography, digital mammography, cardiac magnetic resonance, cartilage imaging, electronic image distribution and intravascular ultrasound.

In addition to providing imaging services at Lifeline hospital’s manages imaging at Lifeline hospital family health centers, several free-standing imaging centers, Lifeline hospital in mumbai and the community hospitals within Lifeline hospital health system.

Radiology is the branch or specialty of medicine that deals with the study and application of imaging technology like x-ray and radiation to diagnosing and treating disease.

What is X-Ray?

An X-ray is a quick, painless test that produces images of the structures inside your body — particularly your bones. X-ray beams can pass through your body, but they are absorbed in different amounts depending on the density of the material they pass through. Dense materials, such as bone and metal, show up as white on X-rays. The air in your lungs shows up as black. Fat and muscle appear as varying shades of gray.

What are CT-Scan>

Computerized tomography (CT scan) combines a series of X-ray views taken from many different angles and computer processing to create cross-sectional images of the bones and soft tissues inside your body. It is primarily done to:


  • Diagnose muscle and bone disorders, such as bone tumors and fractures
  • Pinpoint the location of a tumor, infection or blood clot
  • Guide procedures such as surgery, biopsy and radiation therapy
  • Detect and monitor diseases and conditions such as cancer, heart disease, lung nodules and liver masses
  • Detect internal injuries and internal bleeding

What is MRI ?

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a technique that uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of the organs and tissues within your body. It is carried out for:


  • Brain and spinal cord to help diagnose aneurysms, disorders of the eye and inner ear, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, tumors
  • Heart and blood vessels to help diagnose the size and function of the heart's chambers, thickness and movement of the walls of the heart, the extent of damage caused by heart attack or heart disease, structural problems in the aorta, such as aneurysms or dissections, the buildup of plaques and blockages in the blood vessels
  • Bones and joints to help evaluate joint disorders, such as arthritis, Joint abnormalities caused by traumatic or repetitive injuries, disk abnormalities in the spine, bone infections, tumors of the bones and soft tissues
  • Other internal organs abnormalities diagnosis like liver, kidneys, spleen, pancreas, uterus, ovaries, prostate, testicles
