The specific advanced studies like MRI Angiography for veins and arteries, function MRI and diffusion MRI for brain activities, MRI Spectroscopy for metabolic activity of the brain, MR Defecography for anal and rectal scans, and MRI of breast to uncover different kinds of cancers, are routinely performed at this centre.

Open MRI Machine is especially suited for musculoskeletal scans including those of spine. This is a standing MRI machine. It is believed that a standing MRI machine does a better job of MRI of Spine.
