The Department of Radiology, ANIIMS was started in the year 2015 as a part of Andaman & Nicobar Islands Institute of Medical Sciences, integrating with the Radiology Department of G.B. Pant Hospital.
This department stands as the only radiological referral center for the entire Andaman & Nicobar group of Islands. It is equipped with essential radiological services such as MRI, CT, Mammography, Full Body BMD, Conventional and Digital X-Ray, Ultrasonography, enabling patients to access diagnostics locally without travelling to the mainland.
All imaging services are provided free of cost from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, six days a week, throughout the year. The department also plays a crucial role in emergency care by providing 24/7 advanced imaging for OPD, IPD, and critically ill patients referred to G.B. Pant Hospital, Sri Vijaya Puram.
The department is undergoing complete modernization with procurement of advanced imaging equipment, aiming to become a highly advanced and self-reliant diagnostic unit capable of providing all major imaging studies and reporting services within the Andaman & Nicobar Islands.
