Another summer visit to the US has come to an end and I write this on the flight back home as I reflect on the trip. The trip was a hectic one as they typically tend to be. It began in Philadelphia where it included a resident conference to the residents at Albert Einstein Medical […]

The 2013 DICOM International conference and symposium was recently held in Bangalore (for the first time ever in our fair city). As a member of the organizing committee, and the chair of Clinical Day 3, it was a very rewarding experience for me to interact with the other committee members and delegates and learn about

The past week was a very rewarding one for me personally as we presented Ipads to our consultant radiologists as a token of our appreciation for all their hard work. This elicited some delighted responses, one of which I quote from below: “When I excitedly called my husband from office to say I received a

The drive back home from the Bangalore airport after a return flight is never much fun as it typically stretches well over an hour, in good traffic, that is. The last time though, on my return from Singapore, it flew by, because of an interesting conversation I had with my neighbour, who coincidentally happened to
