Admiring the positive changes brought out both in the infrastructure and professional aspect under the dynamic leadership of the present commandant, Brig Arvind Gupta, he added that giving the best possible care to the serving and retired defence personnel has always been his first priority and as the head of the Jammu station, he will spare no efforts in achieving this aim here also.

Brig Arvind Gupta, Commandant, 166 MH praised the initiative taken by Lt Col Rajiv Kapoor, HOD Radiology in hastening up the process of setting up the CT scan centre. He said the CT scanner installed at 166 Military Hospital a 40 slice machine of Siemens (Sensation 40) is capable of acquiring volumetric data which can later be interpolated to get desired sections. Besides routine scanning, it is capable of coronary and whole body angiography (visualizing the heart blood vessels and other vessels of body) and virtual colonoscopy. The facility for such investigations, the first of its kind in Jammu, will prove to be a big help in enhancing the diagnostic skills of the clinicians and obviate the need of patients traveling to higher centers.
