MIOT’s department of radiology and Imaging Sciences is one of the most advanced facilities in the country

Physiotherapy is called the ‘orthodox alternative therapy.

Our blood bank handles over 30,000 units of blood every year, and more than 600 transfusions every month.

Ranked eighth internationally, MIOT has state-of-the-art diagnostic technology.

MIOT International has 21 operation theatres, equipped with the latest medical technology.

The MIOT International campus is a path-breaking structure that offers patients and healthcare specialists.

Central Sterile Services department & Modular Operation Theatre Suite.

Asia’s first Museum of Arthroplasty seeks to educate patients.

MIOT Hospitals accepts the following insurance companies towards medical treatment.

The clinical chemistry, endocrinology and serology division at MIOT International is equipped with three fully-automated analysers with a throughput of more than 2600 tests per hour. Common metabolic panel, electrolytes and esoteric tests are run on these machines.

The division plays an important role in the diagnosis and management of diabetes, obesity and osteoporosis as it has the facilities to run fully-automated chemistry and immunoassay analysers. Biomarkers for thyroid disorders, subfertility and osteoporosis enable physicians and surgeons to manage them. Tumour, hepatitis and certain critical-care markers help to screen, diagnose and prognosticate disease, as well as reduce utility antibiotics. The division also plays a crucial role in the diagnosis of various autoimmune diseases, myeloma and renal diseases, as well as the detection of HIV, HBV and HCV.

The clinical pathology section has a fully-automated urine chemistry analysis along with urine flow cytometry. It enables the early detection of kidney disease and prevention of kidney failure, as well as the identification of abnormalities in urine sediment which helps in early diagnosis of urinary tract infection.

The laboratory’s advanced transplantation immunology and molecular diagnostics division supports the organ transplant team with the following:

• HLA typing and detection, donor-specific antibodies, panel-reactive antibody identification, flow crossmatch and tissue crossmatch, using advanced multiplex testing systems
• Viral loads with its automated RT-PCR machine
• Renal and skin biopsies and auto-immune disorder detection with immunofluorescence testing
• Flow cytometry studies for immunophenotyping of blood cancer
• Therapeutic drug monitoring using the automated immunoassay analyser
• Evaluation of genetic markers for cancers using FISH and RTPCR

The anatomic pathology and cytology division uses a cryostat for its frozen section, which facilitates intra-operative consultations between surgeon and pathologist. Its cytospin facilities aid in cytology and FNAC consultations and immunohistochemistry services are invaluable for challenging cases and in onco-pathology consultations.

The haematology division is equipped with an automated hematology analyser with reticulocyte and body-fluid analysis. These systems enable the detection of haematological disorders like anemia and leukemia. The division is also equipped with:

• Capillary electrophoresis for detection of abnormal haemoglobins like thalassemia, haemoglobin S, haemoglobin C, haemoglobin D, haemoglobin E, etc.
• Automated Coauglometer for individual factor assay to diagnose and monitor diseases like haemophilia. Some of the tests performed are protein C, protein S, antithrombin III and lupus anticoagulant.

The microbiology division at MIOT International is involved in bacteriology, mycology, mycobacteriology and hospital surveillance. The automated blood and body-fluid culture systems and antibiotic sensitivity testing system helps in the early detection of infection. The mycobacteriology section is fully equipped with BS-III labs and renders molecular testing for detection, antibiotic sensitivity and resistance testing for mycobacterium.
