**Data Imaging Scientist**

Conceptualized in the year 2004 as a philanthropic initiative for the Eastern and North-Eastern parts
of India and the neighboring countries, the Tata Medical Center (TMC) started operations in Kolkata
on May 16, 2011. The hospital is governed by a charitable trust - Tata Medical Centre Trust. It is an
integrated Oncology facility with well-trained professional staff and equipped with modern facilities
and the most contemporary medical equipment. The hospital was designed by Cannon Design, a
renowned architectural firm from North America. It is located on 13 acres of land at New Town in
Kolkata, West Bengal.

The hospital is an integrated Oncology facility with well-trained professional staff and equipped with

modern facilities and contemporary medical equipment. The Hospital, with a capacity of 437 beds,

serves all sections of the society, with 75% of the infrastructure earmarked for subsidized treatment

for the underprivileged sections. It provides a wide spectrum of services from diagnosis and therapy

to rehabilitation and palliative support. The Institution’s objective is to excel in service, education

and research.

The Department of Radiation Oncology is actively engaged in research using radiomics and imaging

and is the pioneer of India's first image bank - CHAVI - Comprehensive Archive of Imaging in

Oncology. This project, jointly developed in collaboration with IIT Kharagpur is currently being

managed and maintained by the department. The department is also actively engaged in the

integration of Artificial Intelligence in the Radiotherapy planning process and is pioneering one of

the first open source automatic segmentation pipelines in India. The department has an active

research and education portfolio and has several extramural funded active research projects.
