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.
