Mediscan Systems Diagnostic Ultrasound Research & Training Centre was established in Chennai in 1982. This institute offers high quality diagnostic ultrasound services and structured training courses with extensive hands on training for medical professionals.

Over the years more than 4000 doctors from India & neighbouring countries have been trained in various aspects of ultrasound. Mediscan has varied services. To mention a few like diagnostic and interventional ultrasound, Dept of Fetal Medicine, Perinatal Pathology, Dept of Dysmorphology and Genetic Counseling.
Scan services include Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Prenatal diagnosis, Fetal Therapy, Pediatric and Neonatal, Echo Cardiography of Fetal, Pediatric and USG guided interventional procedures.

Dept of Fetal Medicine is one of the largest referral centres in India and for the neighbouring countries. Recently this centre is recognisd as a training centre by Fetal Medicine Foundation UK. Overseas activities include workshops for overseas doctors conducted in Dubai, Muscat, Phillippines and Malaysia.

Other activities are a non profitable trust – Fetal Care Research Foundation that offers advanced fetal care for every fetus irrespective of the economic status of the parents. Aims & Objectives of the courses: There are 4 other learning centres in different parts of India. They coordinate with Mediscan Systems in conducting the programmes.
The aim is to train doctors with skills in the technology of Medical Ultrasound. Professionals will be competent in performing basic USG procedures. They will be trained to report independently in clinical ultrasound.

There is a paucity of trained personnel who can assist the doctor in USG practice and simultaneously be able to perform basic preventive maintanence of the equipment by effectively interacting with the industry. The ultrasound industry has expressed an urgent need of “application specialists” who will help in equipment installation and customer support.
