Exposure Visit and Study Tour to SVNIRTAR
The exposure visit and study tour to SVNIRTAR were organized for educational purposes, aimed at providing our students with practical insights into rehabilitation sciences and techniques. Students had the opportunity to observe live clinical sessions where patients were undergoing rehabilitation therapies. This firsthand experience provided valuable insights into patient care and rehabilitation management.
Interactive sessions were conducted where students ask questions and interact with faculty members and rehabilitation professionals. Students were introduced to the institute’s library and research facilities, accessing academic resources and publications related to rehabilitation sciences.
During the visit to Capital Hospital, a government-run tertiary care facility, students witnessed radiology being used in an emergency and trauma setting. They observed portable X-rays and C-arm fluoroscopy in operating theatres, learning the importance of imaging in surgical procedures. The radiology department gave a demonstration of CT scanning procedures, including patient preparation, contrast administration, and post-processing techniques. Exposure to real-life trauma cases helped students understand how imaging supports quick diagnosis and patient management in critical care settings.
At Sunshine Hospital, students explored a wide spectrum of diagnostic and therapeutic radiology services offered in a modern multispecialty healthcare setup. They gained an in-depth understanding of high-resolution ultrasound, particularly in vascular Doppler studies and small parts imaging such as breast and thyroid scans. The radiology team demonstrated how contrast-enhanced CT scans are performed for organ evaluation and trauma cases. Students were also introduced to dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) for bone density analysis and observed how digital mammography is used in early breast cancer detection. This visit enriched their practical understanding of how radiology supports various departments like oncology, orthopedics, and emergency care.
CARE Hospital provided students with exposure to cutting-edge radiological technology and interventional procedures. They observed procedures in MRI, including brain, spine, and musculoskeletal imaging. The students had the unique opportunity to observe interventional radiology procedures like biopsies and drain placements under ultrasound and CT guidance. They also learned about automated injectors, contrast protocols, and advanced 3D reconstruction techniques. This visit gave students a deeper understanding of how radiology plays a crucial role in both diagnostics and minimally invasive treatments in modern medicine
At Bhadrak Hospital, students were exposed to basic and essential radiological services in a rural healthcare setup. They observed the use of conventional X-ray machines and basic ultrasound units, gaining insight into how radiology supports primary healthcare. The staff explained how imaging decisions are made with limited resources, emphasizing cost-effective diagnosis. Students also learned about radiation safety practices, patient positioning, and manual film processing methods still in use in resource-limited environments. This experience highlighted the importance of radiology in rural diagnostics and patient care.
At Spandan Diagnostics and Tata City Hospital students were introduced to a wide range of advanced diagnostic imaging techniques in a well-structured private diagnostic setup. They closely observed the operation of digital radiography (DR) and computed radiography (CR) systems, learning the differences in image acquisition and processing. The technologists demonstrated ultrasound techniques, including abdominal, thyroid, and obstetric scans. Students got hands-on exposure to PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) and observed how images are archived, retrieved, and interpreted by radiologists. This visit helped the students understand workflow management in a high-volume private diagnostic center.
