Suraksha Diagnostics Boosts Kolkata’s Imaging Capabilities with New MRI and CT Suite

Suraksha Diagnostics Limited took a big step forward in Kolkata’s healthcare scene this week, unveiling a brand‑new imaging centre in Mukundapur. The hub houses two cutting‑edge machines – the uMR 780 AI‑enabled 3‑tesla MRI and the uCT 780 160‑slice CT scanner – that together aim to make diagnostic imaging quicker, more comfortable and, frankly, more accurate.

For anyone who’s ever lain still inside a noisy MRI tunnel, the experience can feel daunting. That’s why the uMR 780 packs a handful of patient‑friendly features. Its AI‑assisted Compressed Sensing (ACS) speeds up image capture, meaning you spend less time holding your breath. QScan dials down the acoustic roar during certain sequences, and the flexible SuperFlex coils hug the body, reducing discomfort. How much time you actually save varies by the study, but most patients notice a gentler, quieter ride.

Doctors, on the other hand, get the benefit of a true 3‑tesla magnet paired with specialized coils that dive deep into every body region. The system’s DeepRecon algorithm, built on deep‑learning, cuts through image noise and brings out finer anatomical detail. In practice, that translates into clearer pictures for radiologists, which in turn helps clinicians fine‑tune diagnoses, treatment plans and follow‑up strategies.

The uCT 780 adds another layer of sophistication, especially for cardiac work. Its rapid rotation and cardiac‑phase selection tools freeze the beating heart in crisp detail, while dedicated software flags narrowing or plaque in coronary arteries. The deep‑learning reconstruction engine, DELTA, trims down noise and lets technicians dial in the lowest possible radiation dose without sacrificing image quality. Beyond the heart, the scanner’s versatility covers chest, abdomen and a host of other examinations.

“Every scan tells a story – a person seeking answers and a doctor shaping the next step,” said Dr. Somnath Chatterjee, Chairman and Managing Director of Suraksha Diagnostics. “Our Mukundapur investment is all about bringing that story closer to the people of Kolkata, with an eye on comfort for patients and rich, actionable data for physicians.”

Echoing that sentiment, CEO Ms. Ritu Mittal added, “Patients often worry about how long a scan will last, how noisy it will be, and whether they can stay still. By choosing technology that speeds up acquisition, softens sound and fits the body better, we’re answering those concerns head‑on.”

The launch also dovetailed with Breast Cancer Awareness Month, sparking a broader conversation about preventive health. The team highlighted the importance of regular breast‑health checks and timely cardiac assessments, urging people to stay vigilant about symptoms, family history and routine screenings.

In short, Suraksha’s new Mukundapur centre isn’t just a collection of shiny machines; it’s a promise to blend advanced technology with real‑world patient needs. By delivering sharper images faster and more comfortably, the centre hopes to empower doctors with better information and patients with a less stressful experience.
