I am Dr. Ketan P. Rao, a Radiologist from Mumbai. I have obtained my M.D., D.M.R.D., and M.B.B.S. qualification from the University of Bombay (now Mumbai). I have been working in Radiology for over two decades. Since my M. D., I have worked at reputed institutions in Mumbai, Goa & the Middle East. While in the Middle East, I was employed as a Senior Radiologist with the Ministry of Health and was on the Hospital Management, the Technical and the Purchasing Committees.

I have worked on high-end equipment such as Helical & Multi-slice C. T., Magnetic Resonance Scanning, 3D and 4D Ultrasound, Digital Radiography etcetera. Having been on the Technical & Purchasing Committees on the Ministry of Health, I had the responsibility of formulating specifications for purchase of these high-end equipments. During my hospital-based work I was fortunate to be exposed to a lot of good radiological material and have accumulated an interesting collection of cases which have been recorded & stored as digital images. I have often used these for my clinical presentations.

Since returning from the Middle East in November 2003, I have settled in the tropical paradise of Goa, India. Goa is a well-known tourist destination on the west coast of India and is famed for its pristine beaches.

Dr. Rao's Diagnostic Centre was started by me in February 2004. It consists of two comfortably air-conditioned offices on the first floor of a well-known building in the heart of Mapusa city in Goa, India. The clinic offers Tele-Radiology, Ultrasonography and Colour Doppler Facilities.

My clinic is the first imaging centre in North Goa to offer the Tele-Radiology facility. Images from any remote centre having a Dicom-compatible modality, such as C. T. scan, M. R. I. scan can be sent via the phone-line to the computer at my clinic. I can view these images on a high-resolution monitor & report on them. The report is sent via the phone-line to the remote centre, where it is printed out & dispatched. I am keen to extend my expertise to such centres, where the experience I have obtained in C. T. & M. R. I. scanning could be put to use.

I have the latest GE Logiq Ultrasound scanner with Colour and Power Doppler capabilities. Every possible Ultrasound investigation, including vascular studies & ultrasound guidance for interventional procedures is done by me.
