The Department of Radiodiagnosis NKPSIMS has been conducting postgraduate MD Radiodiagnosis courses for 15 years. Apart from the postgraduate teaching, the department is very active in organizing various skill development programs for junior as well as senior radiologists. These include hands-on training programs in Colour Doppler, Fetal Echo, Adult Echo, Fetal Intervention, General Intervention, etc. During the pandemic when physical programs were not possible, the department organized a series of 11 live web workshops on various topics in Color Doppler and Ultrasound. The online MRI reporting courses which give a unique experience of actual reporting to the participants have reached
international borders. These activities are initiated by Dr Prashant Onkar, Professor Radiodiagnosis who is a renowned national faculty in Colour Doppler and Ultrasound and has conceptualized and executed them with the help of reputed national and international faculty. The department is headed by Dr Kajal Mitra who is a renowned academician and has experience of more than 40 years. He has been instrumental in supporting these educational activities. Now the department has initiated this RADIOLOGY SKILL ACADEMY to enhance the competence of our fellow radiologists and students alike in various radiological modalities. We aim to have an experienced and competent radiologist fraternity who will stand out in the field of medicine. Following is the list of various initiatives of the academy.

Colour Doppler studies are used along with ultrasound and have a longer learning curve than ultrasound. Due to multiple technical factors the students and junior radiologists find it difficult to master. There are no hands-on training programs available exclusively for colour Doppler. We have devised two courses for radiologists who want to master Doppler.
1. The basic course is for two days and covers all areas of peripheral doppler including carotid, upper and lower limb arterial and venous, renal and portal doppler. It is conducted in small batches with a teacher to student ratio 1:10. There are live demonstrations, hands- on experience and case discussions.
It is aimed for beginners as well as practitioners who do not have musc prior experience.
The level II course for four days consists of theory as well as practicals. It covers all aspects of color Doppler in detail. It includes live demonstrations, hand on experience and case discussions. In addition it also requires the participant to learn accurate image acquisitions. The images are evaluated by the faculty before awarding the certificate.
We have trained more than 150 radiologists in colour doppler in two years.Director – Dr Prashant Onkar, Professor.

Magnetic resonance imaging has changed the detection of diseases significantly due to its advantages. There has been continuous development in the field of MRI in terms of machine capacity, imaging sequences, protocols etc. The advent of 3 Tesla MRI equipment has increased its use in musculoskeletal diseases and usually the final investigation performed for their evaluation. The information available from MRI studies is enormous and needs detailed knowledge of anatomy and pathology. MSK radiology has come up as a sub-specialty in recent decades.
We have devised this online course with an aim

Echocardiography is actually ultrasound of the heart. Radiologists are well versed with anatomy of the heart and techniques of ultrasound. In many places there is dearth of physicians or cardiologists and therefore for getting echo studies done for pre surgical fitness or health check ups patients have to travel long distances. Though covered in the post-graduate radiology curriculum, it is not taught at many centers. We have devised a Basic course in Adult Echo.
It’s a two-day program with a very limited batch of participants. there are demonstrations of techniques, lectures and hands-on experience for all participants and case-based discussions.

All radiologists are entitled to perform fetal interventions. Various newer techniques are now available for prenatal diagnosis of genetic diseases. They require sampling of amniotic fluid, chorion etc. Other interventions like blood transfusion, cord sampling are also on the rise. There is an increased need for skilled people who can perform fetal interventions. A radiologist is well versed with image guided interventional techniques like drainage FNA and Biopsy. Considering this gap we have designed a few models for the training in basic techniques of fetal interventions. We use them to train the radiologist during the Basic course in fetal interventions
Dr Jitendra Sahu, fetal radiologist is conducting these courses.
