Facilities
The Department of Imaging Sciences at Century Hospital has been providing international quality imaging services from its inception, and established the hospital as an institute to reckon with. We have emerged as the best imaging center in Central Travancore only because of our teamwork and dedication to achieve the highest standards of work.
From the days of dark room fluoroscopy and X-ray, imaging science has reached its golden era, where imageologists are known as the 'consultant's consultant' because it is not the patient who consults an imageologist, but the clinician managing the patient. The department at Century Hospital is manned by well experienced full time imageologists, CT technicians, Radiographers and Auxillary staff, all of whom function efficiently as a team. All our technical staff are graduates from well-recognized institutes.

- MRI
