It also involves application training, clinical case study discussions, scanning, and workflow observation across multiple anatomies such as Head and Neck, Musculoskeletal, Body, Neuro, etc. This program is open to radiologists who wish to upskill themselves with international standard training on MR specialties. By leveraging Philips' cutting-edge technologies and Star Imaging’s clinical expertise, they will gain valuable insights and hands-on experience in the field.

The Indian healthcare market is moving towards super-specialization owing to the high disease burden. This training initiative represents Philips’ dedication to enhancing clinical expertise and enabling clinicians to extract the best out of the technology at their disposal.”
