Diagnostic imaging training programs in developing countries: a bitter sip to swallow

Abstract

In current era radiological and molecular imagings are the mainstay 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.
