What is that Clinicians want or rather expect from radiology reports? In good old days Radiology Practice means nothing but interpreting the x-rays ordered by the clinicians. All that clinician wanted to know was whether there is TB in the x ray chest, whether any duodenal/gastric ulcer in the barium meal studies, or any fracture of bones etc.The life of the Radiologists was very simple and care free ( without much responsibility )  in those days and no surprise…. no takers for Radiology Postgraduate seats. Anybody, did radiology PG in those days is not out of Love of the specialty but...

Definition of Bias ‘To lean towards something because you don’t like something else, or you like something more than something else, goes hand in hand with discrimination and prejudice’ ‘Someone who already has their mind made up and preset towards a one sided view of a situation’   Scene 1 Patient having RT hypochondrial pain. Two scan centers gave USG report as Multiple Gall stones with sludge and a third scan center gave the report as ‘echogenic mass lesion with acoustic shadow-to rule out growth’ (Nobody knows why the patient visits so many scan centers for...

In response the Blog Article ‘Limitations and Radiologists’, Dr. Himanshu Maniar brought out a very sensible and realistic issue. He said “While taking a stance on such issue, we should keep in mind that it may not be possible to change machine so frequently in a private set up. The problem is when you give your machine for buyback the deal is invariably against you as either you get a very small amount (Which may not even cover the loan margins) or you are made to pay more” - However...Medico legally…Can we safely argue that …… due to the...

Dr. R. J.
As a child I heard it many times 'mahnga roye eik baar, susta roye baar baar'. The English translation should go something like this - 'Buy costly, you cry once, buy cheap and cry often' I hear it even today and the message appears as old and true as those in the Vedas. But it is not without a rider. Just before the Gulf war of 1991 I used to watch with amazement AWACS (Airborne warning and control systems) making daily rounds over us looking very elegant as a big Boeing 747 Aircrafts on the back of which was a long pole on top of which was a huge disc. I secretly used to wish India should...

Many of us - especially heads - live in our ivory towers. Take the Chief of Radiology for example - never stops boasting of the "State of the Art" equipment ; a fully networked department- reasonably staffed with faculty and residents - purported to be one of the best teaching departments; high volume of patient load, great interventional work, good library and paper publishing record. Looks impressive; many outside KEM believe and think so. But Alas!, here at home in KEM as I listen carefully to my close friends- I realize the harsh reality - poor quality x rays; bad patient scheduling;...
