Women's Imaging

For those interested in this subject, there is an interesting article at Medscape based on the ARRS conference held in May.

It describes the current status of this modality in the US of A.

Women's imaging in India is available in the private hospitals and in private clinics and diagnostic centres and mostly consists of ultrasound, mammography and bone density. Ideally hysterosalpinography (HSG) should be part of the services offerred. What is missing is breast and pelvic MRI, which would need additional training and the availabilty of high-field MRI in the same centre. If we go one step further, then uterine fibroid embolization and fallopian tube recanalization can also be performed by women's radiologists.
