Presidents page Dear Esteemed Members,

It is a great pleasure to interact with you through June 2018
issue of the e-Newsletter of IRIA. I take this opportunity to
thank you for your kind support and guidance from time to
time in carrying out various activities of the association.

After organizing successful CME on Fetal Radiology on 13th
May at IRIA House, I am glad to inform you that second such
program would be organized by Kerala state chapter at
Kochi on 22-23 September, 2018. Fetal Radiology in India is
now ready to leap for greater heights, collaborating for
research and clinical diagnostic care, to improve care from
life inside to life in the world outside. Fetal Radiologists are
uniquely placed, using several modalities, to identify the
different stages of development in a fetus.

I request all the state chapters to organize more and more
academic activities for keeping the members updated on the
newer advancements being introduced in the field of
Radiology & Imaging.

I would like to inform you that the first workshop of Indian
Journal of Radiology and Imaging, “Publishing Radiology
Manuscript: A Primer’’, shall be organized by IJRI and IRIA
on 21st July, 2018 at IRIA House, New Delhi from 02.00 PM
to 05.00 PM. All the members are requested to kindly attend
the same in large number. Please note that there would not
be any spot registration.

Presidents page I would like to inform you that IMA organized a Seminar on
‘Doctor – Patient Relationship and Violence on Doctors’ on
26th May, 2018 at Hotel Le-Meridien, New Delhi. IMA had
invited President IRIA to attend this Seminar, which was
attended by me in my capacity as President of IRIA. The
Seminar was very successful. The President of Medical
Council of India was also invited to this Seminar and she
shared her views on this matter.

I advise all the members to follow the PC & PNDT Act in its
letter and spirit as it the law of the land.

Members are requested to kindly get in touch with me only
any time with issues/matters pertaining to Radiology
fraternity and IRIA.

Thanking you,

paper for publication shall be discussed to encourage and
train participants to submit their research papers for

AOSR Report of AOSR Strategic Meeting held at Kuala Lumpur
I thank you very much for reposing faith in my abilities and to
depute me to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to attend the executive
council meeting of AOSR on 22 nd April, 2018. I attended the
meeting and as desired by President IRIA have put in front the
viewpoints of IRIA strongly and emphatically.

The main purpose of the 09-hour brainstorming meeting was
to find out ways to promote the AOSR so that eventually it is
considered at par if not better than ESR or RSNA. In this
meeting, I have stated on records that the following things
should be done to strengthen AOSR soonest:

1. To immediately start medical journal and a news bulletin of
AOSR.
2. To consider ways to increase income of AOSR including
hosting yearly congress instead of biannually and to consider
taking a percentage of gross collection from the host
association instead of fixed USD 20,000/-.
3. To ascertain ways by which adequate representation to
various member constituent national associations is affected.

I am feeling satisfied to communicate to you that all the above
suggestions were totally accepted by the present members.

In coming months a white paper shall be formulated by AOSR
office for study by various member national constituent
associations and after general consensus ways to proceed
ahead shall be decided.
