EXTERNAL ROTATIONS FOR RADIOLOGY RESIDENTS: AN INVALUABLE EXPERIENCE

Abstract

Radiology is one of the most dynamic and rapidly evolving medical sciences of the modern era. What started as simple x-rays has now become a much diverse science comprising of Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Ultrasound, Interventional Radiology (IR), Fluoroscopy, Mammography and Nuclear Medicine in addition to digital x-rays. A complete Radiology Unit should have all these facilities so that residents have adequate exposure to all these imaging devices. Unfortunately this is not the case in most of the radiology training institutes in Pakistan.
