TMC Signs MoU with Powergrid to Provide Digital Subtraction Angiography System to TMH

DSA with Computed Tomography (DSA-CT) provides high-resolution, real-time visualization of blood vessels and soft tissues

Tata Memorial Centre (TMC), country’s oldest and largest cancer institute, has signed an agreement with Powergrid Corporation of India for providing Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) to Tata Memorial Hospital (TMH).

This effort falls under the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative by the Powergrid Corporation of India, which will use a portion of its profits to enhance cancer care and patient support at TMH.

Hara Prasad Pal, General Manager (HR) of Powergrid Corporation India, said, “We are honored to support Tata Memorial Hospital in its mission to provide world-class cancer treatment. We believe that access to advanced medical technology should not be a privilege, but a right for all patients, regardless of their economic background.”

TMH, one of Asia’s largest cancer treatment and research institutions, treats over 70,000 cancer patients annually and remains at the forefront of oncological care, research and education in India.

According to a report, the incidence of cancer cases is estimated to increase by 12.8% in 2025 as compared to 2020, which ultimately presents the need for precision-driven, AI-enabled solutions to advance cancer care in India.

Further, Tata Memorial Hospital's addition of a novel DSA system will augment its ability to deliver comprehensive and compassionate care to patients across the country.

Digital Subtraction Angiography with Computed Tomography (DSA-CT)

The Digital Subtraction Angiography with Computed Tomography is an advanced imaging system that provides an accurate depiction of the blood vessels, helping in detecting blockages, tumor blood supply, and other such conditions.

Often referred to as 3D-DSA, Digital Substration Angiography allows a cross-sectional visualisation in understanding interaction of vessels with tumors or surrounding organs.

The system will enable a faster, more accurate diagnosis and treatment planning for cancer patients, allowing TMH to serve more patients with greater efficiency and precision.

Dr Suddep Gupta, the director of Tata Memorial Centre, expressed gratitude saying, “This donation comes at a crucial time. The new equipment will significantly aid in improving clinical outcomes, reduce treatment waiting times, and enhance the overall patient experience.”
