The department was started in 2005 with the installation of Telecobalt machine. At present the department of radiation oncology is equipped with the latest technological advances in the field of radiation oncology and provides state of art treatment. The department is equipped with two high-end linear accelerators, Clinac ix (Varian) and Versa HD with FFF (Elekta), Telecobalt machine – Equinox(Team Best), brachytherapy machine (Flexitron – Elekta), CT simulator and a conventional simulator. Dedicated contouring stations (MIM) and planning systems (Eclipse, Monaco &Oncentra) for EBRT and brachytherapy planning also are available. The DNB Radiation oncology course could provide thrust to the academic ventures.
Division of Radiation Physics is under the department of Radiation oncology. This division is in charges of the radiotherapy equipment and Radiation safety officer ensures the radiation safety in the institution. Through the MoU with Calicut university, MCC-PGIOSR provides training and internship for MSc Radiation physics students of the Calicut University.
