The Department of Biomedical Imaging, formerly known as Department of Radiology, was set up under the supervision of Dr. Douglas Alton, a radiologist from Canada and it began operation at University Hospital in 1967. The Department was set-up with finance being provided under the Technical Assistance Programme of the Colombo Plan. The following were important landmarks in the establishment.

Master of Radiology (Clinical Master)
Radiology is directing medical imaging technologies to diagnose and sometimes treat diseases. Originally, radiology deals mainly in translating x-ray images into diagnosis for the patients. However, the technological advances of today enable the experts of this field to utilise other state-of-the-art equipment, such as ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging to better diagnose and treat diseases.
Master of Medical Physics
Technological advances and developments in medicine, particularly in radiology, oncology (radiotherapy) and nuclear medicine, have created a demand for qualified medical physicists to manage and monitor the medical usage of radiation in all its forms. In 1998 the University of Malaya launched the Master of Medical Physics programme to meet this growing need. Over sixty graduates have come out from this programme thus far.

The University of Malaya Research Imaging Centre (UMRIC) of the Department of Biomedical Imaging initiates all aspects of research which involves imaging procedures and facilitates research for those who require imaging services of the department. UMRIC also conducts research activities and monitors research activities of the Department members.

The Department of BIOMEDICAL IMAGING is equipped with state of the art equipment and utilizes a wide range of imaging modalities which include CR and DR for general radiography, fluoroscopy, ultrasound , intravenous urography (IVU), Mammography, MRI (0.3 Tesla, 1.5 Tesla and 3.0 Tesla), Computed tomography or CT ( 2 units of 16 slice CT, 1 unit 128 slice CT and I unit dual source CT) and 2 angiography suites ( 1 biplane angiograpy, 1 flat panel detector angiography ) system. In addition, the Nuclear Medicine Unit is equipped with SPECT-CT and Dual Energy Absorbsiometry Bone Mineral Densitometer (DXA).

With the support of the University of Malaya Medical Centre which provides the support staff consisting of radiographers, medical lab technologists, attendants and clerical staff, the Department of Biomedical Imaging provides a whole range of radiology services including diagnostic imaging, image guided interventional and therapeutic procedures and nuclear medicine imaging and non imaging examinations.
