Radiology is a medical field that uses imaging techniques to examine internal structures of the body and support the diagnosis of diseases and injuries. Radiologists are medically trained professionals who interpret diagnostic images as part of clinical care.
Kathmandu University identifies MD Radio-diagnosis as a three-year postgraduate program conducted through its constituent and affiliated medical colleges.
At Devdaha Medical College, postgraduate Radiology combines imaging science with practical clinical training. Students study different imaging modalities while learning how imaging findings relate to patient evaluation and diagnostic procedures.
MD Radiodiagnosis has a duration of three years under Kathmandu University.
The program combines theoretical study with supervised clinical exposure. Students work with imaging principles, diagnostic procedures, patient care, and the technical and safety considerations associated with radiological practice.
Candidates seeking admission must meet the postgraduate clinical medical eligibility requirements.
The requirements include:
MBBS or equivalent qualification from an institution recognized by the Government of Nepal;
registration with the Nepal Medical Council for Nepali candidates;
registration with the respective medical council for foreign candidates;
one year of experience; and
at least 50 percent in the entrance examination conducted by the Medical Education Commission to become eligible for the merit list.
The one-year experience requirement applies because Radiodiagnosis is included within the Clinical Science group rather than Basic Medical Sciences. Kathmandu University's MD/MS framework includes Radio Diagnosis among its Clinical Science programs.
Admission follows the postgraduate medical education system administered by the Medical Education Commission (MEC).
The entrance examination for MD Radio-diagnosis is conducted by MEC, and candidate selection follows MEC guidelines.
The admission pathway includes:
completing an eligible MBBS or equivalent medical qualification;
holding the applicable Medical Council registration;
completing the required experience;
appearing in MECEE-PG;
securing the required qualifying result;
participating in the MEC merit and matching process; and
completing admission under the applicable MEC and Kathmandu University procedures.
The postgraduate entrance examination uses single-best-response multiple-choice questions.
| Component | Details |
|---|---|
| Question Type | Single best response MCQs |
| Total Questions | 200 |
| Options | Four options |
| Duration | 3 hours |
| Clinical Subjects | 115 marks |
| Basic Medical Sciences | 60 marks |
| Other Areas | 25 marks |
| Total | 200 marks |
Radiology carries seven marks within the Clinical Science section of the stated postgraduate entrance examination.
The remaining examination areas include Community Medicine and Research Methodology, Forensic Medicine, and mandatory continuing professional development topics covering Medical Ethics, Rational Use of Drugs, Infection Prevention, BLS/ACLS, and Communication Skills.
The stated intake for MD Radiodiagnosis / Radiology at Devdaha Medical College is two seats.
| Seat Category | Seats |
|---|---|
| Open | 2 |
| Total | 2 |
Both seats are allocated to the open category.
Postgraduate medical seat allocation operates under the MEC framework and may vary according to the seat determination applicable to an admission cycle.
The postgraduate Radiology program at Devdaha Medical College includes advanced training across several major imaging modalities:
X-ray
Ultrasound
Computed Tomography (CT)
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Each modality provides a different method of examining internal body structures. Postgraduate training develops familiarity with their use within diagnostic imaging and patient care.
The course information identifies four important areas of postgraduate radiology study.
Imaging Anatomy connects anatomical knowledge with the appearance of body structures on diagnostic images.
It provides the structural basis required to interpret images produced through different imaging modalities.
Radiological Physics addresses the scientific principles associated with medical imaging.
Its inclusion reflects the technical foundation required to understand how imaging methods produce clinically useful information.
Interventional Radiology forms part of the stated curriculum at Devdaha Medical College.
This introduces postgraduate students to the interventional dimension of radiology within the broader imaging program.
Radiation Safety is included as a core academic topic.
Its place in the curriculum reflects the need for radiology trainees to understand safety considerations connected with imaging methods that use ionizing radiation.
Practical clinical training forms part of MD Radiodiagnosis at Devdaha Medical College.
Students undertake clinical rotations in imaging facilities and gain supervised experience related to diagnostic procedures and patient care.
The clinical component connects imaging science with practical work involving:
diagnostic imaging procedures;
use of different imaging modalities;
interpretation-oriented learning;
patient-related responsibilities; and
application of radiation safety principles.
The college's teaching hospital also has X-ray, CT Scan, and MRI services within its wider hospital infrastructure.
Research projects and participation in academic conferences are included among the activities associated with postgraduate Radiology at Devdaha Medical College.
These activities complement clinical and academic study by giving students opportunities to engage with radiology-related inquiry and professional academic discussion.
Kathmandu University governs the academic side of MD Radiodiagnosis / Radiology after admission.
This includes:
curriculum requirements;
clinical academic training;
assessments;
academic progression;
university examinations; and
degree completion.
The Medical Education Commission has a different role, governing postgraduate entrance, selection, matching, seat determination, and related admission procedures.
Professional Medical Council registration forms part of the postgraduate eligibility requirements.
Nepali candidates must be registered with the Nepal Medical Council. Foreign candidates must hold registration with the respective medical council of their own country under the stated eligibility provisions.
The admission sequence therefore involves medical graduation, professional registration, required experience, MECEE-PG qualification, MEC selection, and enrollment in the Kathmandu University postgraduate program.
MD Radiodiagnosis provides postgraduate specialization in diagnostic imaging.
The training is connected with professional work in radiology involving diagnostic imaging and interpretation within appropriate healthcare settings.
Professional roles depend on applicable registration requirements, institutional appointment, experience, and the responsibilities assigned by the healthcare organization.
Completion of the degree does not by itself guarantee a specific appointment or employment position.
