Dear Members,

It is a matter of great pleasure to interact with you through this April 2019 issue of
the IRIA e-Newsletter. I am glad to inform you that the ‘Japan Radiological Society’
(JRS) had invited me as President of ‘Indian Radiological & Imaging Association’ for
its Annual Meeting (JRS 2019) and Asian Radiology Summit (ARS) 2019, which will
be held on 11 - 14 April, 2019 at Yokohama, Japan.

The aim and objective of our association is to promote the study and practice of
Radiodiagnosis & Imaging. It can be achieved by conducting more and more academic programs. I
am happy to inform you that the association has planned to organize Outreach Programs in Breast
Imaging and Interventional Radiology this year. I request all the state chapters to come forward to
organize the same in all corners of the country.

Pre-conception and Pre-natal Diagnostic Techniques Act (PC & PNDT Act) has stringent rules and
regulations to curb female feticide. It is very important to follow and strictly adhere to the guidelines
laid down under the act to avoid legal actions. Clinical negligence claim costs continue to increase in
India. The growth in preventative screening measures involving Radiologists and the increasing use
of Interventional Radiology have associated medico-legal issues, the professional role of the
Radiologist has evolved with increased involvement in the clinical management of patients. This
is especially so with the advances in minimally invasive procedures in Interventional Radiology. The
general rise in litigation against doctors appears to be continuing apace. It’s high time to get ready
and update with all PC & PNDT and Legal updates about Radiology Practice.

I am glad to inform you that IRIA is taking proactive steps and gearing up to take this challenge.
Throughout the year, we will keep seminars on PC & PNDT and Legal Aspects of Radiology. We are
coming out with dedicated Master Course on PC & PNDT and Legal Aspects at IRIA House for IRIA
leaders at Delhi on 5th May 2019. Subsequently, the state chapters can arrange similar seminars in
their respective states. Faculties will be expert in PC & PNDT and Lawyers who are well versed with
the subject. Webinars will be arranged to have wider coverage for our members. We want in-depth
awareness about PC & PNDT and Radiology practice in all our members. My Teammates at IRIA
Office are determined to get through this challenge in the best possible way. Secretary General
Dr. Rajeev Singh, Joint Secretaries Dr. Vijay Bhaskar Nori and Dr. Sandeep Kavthale have already
started backhand preparation. I must acknowledge Dr. Sandeep Kavthale for the inception of this
challenging mission.

I am happy to share with you that Sono Summit registration has crossed the 500 mark. We
congratulate all members of IRIA. We are sure that this will be a great opportunity for beginners,
young radiologists, resident doctors and Sonography practicing members to learn advances as well
as basics of Sonography from experts. While we are overwhelmed with the response, we have also
received numerous demands from many members across the country to extend the date, therefore,
we have revised the discounted registration dates by 2 weeks, i.e. till 14th April, 2019.

Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,

Dr. Hemant Patel
President, IRIA

Gen. Secretary's notes

Dear Esteemed Members,

I thank all the members for their kind cooperation.
As per the constitution of the association, each state chapter must conduct its
annual election from December to March of every year and inform to the Central
Office, IRIA by 30th April along with the proceedings of the election, failing which
the State Chapter would be debarred from the membership of the Central Council.
I request the state chapters, who have not yet sent the information of election
conducted in their state chapters, to send the same to IRIA HQ at the earliest to
avoid debarring from the Central Council.

We have initiated a movement to compile medico-legal cases, which are relevant to Radiologists, and
Court Judgements of various Hon’ble High Courts and Supreme Court of India. This compilation would
be very useful for reference to any one of us in need on this matter. All the members are requested to
send information / court judgements / orders of various Courts of the country related to PC & PNDT
matters to email id of IRIA HQ [email protected] at the earliest.

Members can also use the following link to post the cases as requested above.

https://t.me/joinchat/GL_ntBdCIqnaupM1uB4-yA

This information would help the members in need to draft / file their replies on the matters related to
PC & PNDT. In our perpetual effort to serve you in best possible ways, the IRIA HQ has formed an
interactive group on Telegram App headed by IRIA PC & PNDT AND TRADE RELATIONS
COMMITTEE MEMBERS. These learned committee members would try their best to help you in your
queries related to Trade Grievances and PC & PNDT related issues. All the members are requested to
join the Group and indulge in meaningful and relevant discussions and deliberations only.

The link of PC PNDT AND TRADE COMMITTEE is given below:

https://t.me/joinchat/GL_ntBPgRRajPGI6Ql01vA

The elections of office bearers of IRIA are to be conducted through e-voting system. It has been
decided by the General Body vide its meeting held at Chandigarh that all the eligible voters shall be
asked to register for e-voting and rest of the members, who do not register for e-voting, shall be sent
physical ballot papers. The IRIA HQ is in process of updating the data of the members so that not only
our directory is made up to date, but we can also conduct election through e-voting system with the
participation of most of the members. Therefore, all the state chapters are requested to set a drive in
their respective state chapter to update the Email id, Mobile No. and mailing addresses of members
so that all the members can participate and cast their vote through e-voting system. The state chapter
Presidents and Secretaries are requested to treat this as most urgent please and provide the data by
30th of April, 2019 positively.

We sincerely solicit your cooperation in our endeavour to move forward.

International Women's day celebration by IRIA

8th March 2019 will be etched in the memories of IRIA members as they got together to celebrate
International Women’s Day in the most befitting manner.

“There is no more force Powerful Than A Woman Determined To Rise” - W.E.B Dubois

A mother, a daughter, a wife, a professional, a homemaker and most importantly compassionate beings. A
woman in today’s era wears numerous hats and plays 100 different roles and we can vouch that she can
win an Oscar for each role that she plays. We feel proud that radiology is one of the fields where there is a
palpable presence of women and in fact, no family is complete without a woman. Let’s celebrate the most
beautiful and complex creation of God and let’s honour the women of our field.

On 8th March 2019 woman’s day, IRIA celebrates in its own unique way to cherish all our lady radiologists.
I appeal to all women of radiology to get together for coffee. Discuss issues and inoculate ideas of women
empowerment in radiology, woman’s imaging, finance management, health and nutrition or beauty tips, the
world is your playground and the choice is yours. You may set this up in your city/town at any venue like a
restaurant or a coffee shop. The theme will be pink for all. I request YUVA IRIA for executing this
celebration in the best possible manner.

On this occasion, we will have the mindset of, “the more the merrier”, so try and include women
radiologists from different centres, medical colleges and hospitals from your city. You may set up
lunch/dinner; IRIA will even send you designs for T-shirts and Cakes so you can let everyone know about
this Women Power. Be loud, Be supportive, Be vocal and Be heard. Feel free to have a group photo/selfie
with your colleagues and besties.

Let your presence be felt. We adore you, we respect you and we appreciate your presence in Radiology
fraternity.

I would love to hear from you.
Best regards,

Dr. Hemant Patel, National President, IRIA

With this appeal sent by our President on 13th February 2019 and the co ordination of the event was
entrusted upon to the newly formed YUVA IRIA (Youth Wing of IRIA), the new team swung into action co
ordinated with committee members all over the country. An online meeting was held and all members
poured in with their suggestions.

Several banners were prepared by YUVA IRIA to promote the event all over the country.

The YUVA IRIA is very grateful to the National IRIA and in particular our President Dr Hemant Patel for
giving us this idea and opportunity to organize the Women’s Day celebration all over the country. The
event got wide publicity and is said to have a created a record for the highest number of events organized
for Women’s Day by the Medical Fraternity.

Thanking You, Regards,

Dr Murali Krishna, National Coordinator, YUWA IRIA

KOCHI CHAPTER, INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY CELEBRATIONS,
MARCH 8, IMA HOUSE KOCHI.
It was like an apparition when Asha Chechi walked into the room. The Melody Queen had a disarming
smile as sweet as her voice. As she walked into the executive room of the IMA house along with her
mother, we could not control our awe. Asha Chechi or Smt. Ashalatha of ‘Hello Joy Alukkas’ fame had
come to IMA House, to grace the International Women’s Day celebrations of Kochi IRIA, as chief
guest.
The lady radiologists welcomed her and got into a conversation with her. A simple, humble person,
her sweetness spilled over in her words and gestures.
The meeting started with a silent prayer. Dr. Meenu Batra welcomed the gathering. Asha Chechi gave
the Women’s day message. She stressed upon how women today enjoy far more privileges and
comfort than in the past; Women should question themselves as to what they have done with the
freedom they already have and not fight and put up ugly public shows for more freedom; Endurance
and resilience will help women bounce back every time after setbacks; She went on to elaborate how
life was tough for her, yet how she rose up from the ashes like a phoenix. The crowd was left
spellbound by her speech.
Dr. Anusha Varghese presented a memento to Smt. Ashalatha. Dr. Maggie Xavier proposed the vote
of thanks. The function was presided by Dr. Amel Antony National Vice President of IRIA. Dr. Ramesh
Shenoy, Incharge Digital IRIA co-ordinated the function. With the words of Ashachechi ringing in their
ears, the radiologists left for dinner.
