Department of Neuroimaging and Interventional Radiology (NIIR)

The Department of Neuroimaging and Interventional Radiology (NIIR) at the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS), Bengaluru, is one of India's leading centres for advanced neuroimaging and neurointervention. As a premier neuroscience institute, NIMHANS serves as a major tertiary referral centre for complex neurological, neurosurgical, neurovascular, and neuropsychiatric disorders from across India and neighbouring countries.

Centre Profile

The department combines cutting-edge diagnostic neuroradiology with a comprehensive neurointerventional practice, providing round-the-clock services for acute stroke, aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations and fistulas, spinal vascular disorders, and a wide spectrum of cerebrovascular diseases. The department is deeply committed to clinical excellence, education, innovation, and research in the neurosciences.
