TRAINING PROGRAMS OF CLINICAL IMAGING IN DEVELOPING WORLD

Abstract

Clinical imaging modalities like anatomical, functional and hybrid have been playing a pivotal role in the diagnosis and management of diseases. Success of developed countries in controlling and addressing various diseases and improved longevity is fueled by pertinent information gained from radiological and molecular imaging right from research to clinical arenas. Seminal reason for this success is that these countries have recognized human health as one of major priorities and allocated significant chunk of their gross national product (GNP) to address it.
