I had full time charge of CT Scan, MRI Scan and had done various interventional procedures like angioplasty, embolization procedures, CT guided biopsies etc. I was involved as a guide in projects and teaching of DM( Neuroimaging and Interventional Neuroradiology) which was started in 1999. I was promoted as additional professor in 2003 and later in 2010 as professor. I became head of department in 2010 till my retirement in 2017.

Achievements for the dept made during the period of HODship.

In view of the high potency and scope, the concept of separating the cardiac imaging and vascular intervention from neuroimaging and intervention was introduced.
The post doctoral certificate course exclusively for Cardiovascular Imaging And Vascular Interventional Radiology) was introduced in 2013 and it is the first of it’s kind in India. Later in 2017,a well structured 3 year DM (Cardiovascular Imaging And Vascular Interventional Radiology) was started.
The technical staff in the department were given a platform to take classes for the Diploma in advanced imaging technology students and DM students regarding the technical aspects of MRI , CT scanner.
Also, a yearly focussed technical CME Programme (FLAIR)was started in 2011.which runs successfully for the 9 th year now, attracting students not only from Kerala but also from neighboring states.
