His clinical practice encompasses the full spectrum of interventional radiology, with particular expertise in neurovascular interventions, peripheral vascular interventions, and image-guided procedures involving multiple organ systems throughout the body.
He completed his MBBS from Government Stanley Medical College, Chennai, followed by a Diploma in Medical Radio-Diagnosis (DMRD) from Government Rajaji Medical College, Madurai, and DNB in Radiodiagnosis from Meenakshi Mission Hospital, Madurai. He subsequently underwent advanced fellowship training in neurovascular intervention at Christian Medical College (CMC), Vellore, where he further developed his expertise in managing complex neurovascular and peripheral vascular disorders. Following his fellowship, he served as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Interventional Radiology at CMC Vellore, gaining extensive experience in clinical practice, academic medicine, and complex interventional procedures.

Interventional radiology is a rapidly advancing branch of medicine that uses imaging technology,  such as X-rays, ultrasound, CT, and MRI,  to guide minimally invasive procedures for diagnosing and treating a wide range of conditions, often eliminating the need for traditional open surgery. Dr. Kumar Muthukumar's extensive experience across this evolving specialty allows him to offer patients safer alternatives to conventional surgery, with shorter recovery times, reduced pain, and minimal scarring. His professional qualifications include the Fellowship of the Royal College of Radiologists, United Kingdom (FRCR), European Diploma in Radiology (EDiR), Fellowship in Neurovascular Intervention and Radiology (FNVIR), and European Board of Interventional Radiology (EBIR), reflecting his commitment to advanced specialist training and internationally recognised standards of radiological practice.
Dr. Muthukumar specialises in minimally invasive, image-guided treatments that offer alternatives to conventional open surgery in appropriately selected patients. His practice includes emergency neurovascular procedures for acute stroke, endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms and other cerebrovascular disorders, peripheral arterial and venous interventions, and a broad range of hepatobiliary, gastrointestinal and image-guided oncological procedures. With expertise spanning neurological, vascular, hepatobiliary and other abdominal and solid-organ conditions, he provides comprehensive interventional radiology care tailored to individual patient needs. His approach combines technical precision, evidence-based clinical decision-making and multidisciplinary collaboration, with an emphasis on patient safety, effective treatment and recovery.

Dr. Muthukumar's multidisciplinary expertise allows him to manage complex cases that span neurology, vascular medicine, and gastrointestinal/hepatobiliary disease, making him a key resource for patients who require advanced, less invasive treatment options. His approach combines technical precision with close attention to each patient's overall comfort and recovery experience
