Radiology at Undergraduate Level: Are We Prepared?

Abstract

Medicine in current era is evidence based and management of many diseases has undergone a paradigm shift towards a multi-disciplinary approach. Obviously this change has resulted in a significant decline in morbidity and mortality associated with many diseases. Beyond any doubt radiology and diagnostic imaging has played a pivotal role in this paradigm shift and credits goes to continuous, robust and tangible research and developments by industry and academia. Diagnostic imaging offers a large number of conventional and advance, two dimensional and multidimensional, invasive and non-invasive and radiation and non-radiation based items in its service menu. Skilled manpower on technical and clinical frontiers is the primary requirement for effective utilization of these modalities and we can find a world wide web of various postgraduate training programs and fellowships in this regards.
