Senior Radiologist with Diagnostic and Interventional Dual Scope Across Manipal and Apollo

Diagnostic and interventional radiology is a specialty where the combination of international credentialling and dual scope across both diagnostic imaging and image-guided interventional procedures distinguishes practitioners who can offer comprehensive radiology services from those practising in a single domain. Dr Lakshmikantha's FRCR from the Royal College of Radiologists, London is one of the most internationally recognised radiology qualifications, alongside his dual DMRD and DNB Radiology Indian credentials.

His clinical scope spans the full breadth of diagnostic radiology across neuroradiology, musculoskeletal radiology, breast imaging, cardiovascular radiology, abdominal and thoracic imaging, paediatric radiology, and emergency radiology, combined with interventional radiology procedures including image-guided biopsies, drainages, vascular interventions, and pain management procedures. His dual practice at Manipal Hospital Kanakapura Road and Apollo Hospital Bannerghatta provides imaging support across two of Bangalore's major hospital systems. Combined with six language fluency in Kannada, English, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam, this depth of FRCR credentialled diagnostic and interventional radiology is now offered across both locations.
