The Department of Radiodiagnosis has state of art diagnostic, interventional and research facilities. These facilities are available at the Department of Radiodiagnosis in the Main hospital and at Radiodiagnosis sections at the Dr B.R Ambedkar Institute Rotary Cancer hospital, Dr Rajendra Prasad Centre for ophthalmology, and at Jai Prakash Narayan Apex trauma Centre. The department runs three year post-graduate program (MD); three Fellowship courses (in GI radiology, Thoracic radiology & Pediatric radiology) of one year each and a three year B.Sc (Hons.) MTR (Medical Technology in Radiography) course in radiography.

The department has the following strength of staff-
