Overview
As per a Data Bridge Market Research report, the global radiology market is projected to reach $43.04 billion by 2029 from $26.6 billion in 2021. Another report from Precedence Research reveals that the radiology as a service market was valued at $45 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach around $71.57 billion by 2032. This growth is mainly due to the rising number of elderly individuals, rising chronic diseases and advancements in medical imaging technology.

Highlights
Proctoral System
Under the Proctoral System, every student is assigned a faculty member as a Proctor or a mentor.
These mentors offer guidance, support and encouragement to students, helping them as they progress along their academic journey. From the choice of electives to their academic performance, from attendance to meeting their credit requirements, students can approach these mentors with any and every query.
Proctors also interact with parents/guardians and keep them updated on the progress of students.
To ensure that they reap the benefits of the Proctoral System, students are advised to be in regular contact with their Proctors.
Innovation Centre
At the Innovation Centre, students team up with faculty members to bring their innovative ideas to life.
Ideas are assessed based on their relevance to and impact on society. These are then translated into working projects that are entered in national and international competitions, and for registration as patents.
Hospital Posting
As part of the curriculum, students are posted to relevant departments of the hospital and gain hands-on experience to the actual working of the department and patient care. Students get sufficient practical knowledge to prepare them for joining the hospital as soon as they graduate.
Partner Facilities
The Ramaiah Group was established in 1962 with a teaching hospital for medical students that was founded in 1985, and a Memorial Hospital in 2014.
