The specialised facility is dedicated to high-resolution imaging and image-guided interventions for a wide spectrum of bone, joint, muscle, nerve, and sports-related conditions.
The clinic was formally inaugurated in the presence of senior leadership and eminent specialists from radiology, orthopaedics, neurology, critical care, and hospital administration. Dignitaries present included Dr. Hirak Ray Choudhury, Consultant & HOD – Radiology; Dr. Subhash Kr.

Designed as a comprehensive referral centre for orthopaedics, rheumatology, neurology, oncology, and sports medicine, the MSK Radiology Clinic offers high-resolution ultrasound (USG) and MRI, alongside a wide array of image-guided diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. These capabilities enable precise diagnosis, early pain relief, and faster recovery, particularly for patients with chronic pain, sports injuries, and complex musculoskeletal disorders.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Hirak Ray Choudhury, Consultant & HOD – Radiology, said, “The MSK Radiology Clinic represents a significant advancement in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. With cutting-edge imaging and image-guided interventions, we can now deliver minimally invasive, highly precise procedures that reduce pain, shorten recovery time, and improve outcomes for patients with chronic pain, compressive neuropathies, sports injuries, and complex joint disorders.”
The clinic provides advanced solutions including peripheral nerve imaging and interventions, nerve blocks and ablations, PRP injections, biopsies of soft tissue, bone, muscle and nerve, as well as image-guided oncology interventions. It also offers specialised treatments for conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, frozen shoulder, arthritis, bursitis, and sports-related injuries.
Highlighting the multidisciplinary impact, Dr. Kanchan Bhattacharyya, Consultant – Orthopaedics, noted, “Accurate imaging forms the backbone of effective orthopaedic treatment and surgical planning. This clinic enables early diagnosis of injuries and degenerative conditions and facilitates targeted, image-guided interventions, significantly improving patients’ quality of life.”
Emphasising patient safety and clinical excellence, Dr. Subhash Kr. Todi, Director – Critical Care Specialist, added, “Minimally invasive, image-guided procedures play a crucial role in reducing patient risk and recovery time. This clinic enhances our ability to manage pain, inflammation, and complex musculoskeletal conditions safely, especially in patients with multiple comorbidities.”
The MSK Radiology Clinic also introduces internationally accepted image-guided MSK interventions, known for high success rates, accurate drug delivery, and early pain relief—bringing advanced, world-class care closer to patients in and around Kolkata.
Addressing the gathering, Mr. Dilip Kumar Roy, Hospital Director, Manipal Hospital, Dhakuria, said, “The launch of the MSK Radiology Clinic underscores our commitment to precision-led, patient-centric care. By integrating advanced imaging and image-guided interventions under one specialised platform, we aim to strengthen clinical outcomes, reduce recovery time, and ensure that patients in Eastern India have access to globally benchmarked diagnostic and minimally invasive treatments close to home.”
