From B.Sc. Radiology to your first scanner: a practical roadmap
Four years of study, a 2,400-hour internship, a registration system still being built, and a first job where nobody hands you the MRI on day one. The full road from Class 12 to your own scanner, step by step.
Assessing student scanning skills objectively: OSCE stations and rubrics
Spotters and a viva tell you who revised. An OSCE tells you who can scan. How to design radiography OSCE stations, mark them fairly, and run a batch of twenty in an afternoon.
Radiographer resume: the sections, the CARE method and a sample
Most radiographer resumes list duties. The ones that get shortlisted show what changed because you were there. The sections to use, the CARE method for every bullet, and a full sample you can download.
MRI technologist interview questions, with answers
Safety zones, quench, SAR, gadolinium, TR and TE, artefacts, and the frightened patient. The questions MRI interviews keep asking, with answers checked against the guidance they come from.
Building a radiography lab on a budget: simulators vs scanner hours
A new 1.5T MRI costs crores, and the hospital lending you scanner time loses a paid study every hour. Here is what a radiography skills lab actually needs, what AERB allows, and how to build one in three tiers.
CT vs MRI: which modality should a radiography student specialise in?
CT is fast, busy and close to emergency. MRI is slow, physics-heavy and unforgiving about metal. The pay gap in India is smaller than students think. A side-by-side guide to choosing, and to keeping both doors open.
Why practising on a real patient is the wrong way to learn protocols
One MRI exam in five has a repeated sequence. Most MRI injuries reported to the US FDA are burns. Both have a lot to do with learning at the patient's expense. Here is the case for learning protocols first.
How to get hands-on MRI practice before your first clinical posting
Your MRI posting is two months long and mostly spent watching. Here is what you will be asked to do, what the safety rules expect of a student, and a four-week plan to arrive ready to plan a scan.
Teaching MRI without scanner time: how colleges use simulators
India has one or two MRI scanners per million people, and every hour on them belongs to a patient. Here is how radiography colleges teach the console anyway, and what the evidence says about it.
Cancer in India: why early diagnosis matters, the growing role of PET-CT, and the need for skilled technicians
About one in nine Indians will develop cancer by 74, and most breast, cervical and head and neck cancers are found locally advanced. PET-CT cannot fix late diagnosis, but it decides how a found cancer is treated. India has 359 PET-CT scanners and trains about 150 nuclear medicine technologists a year. Where the gaps are, and what closes them.
From MCQ to hands-on: how radiographer training and hiring in India are moving toward practical skills
The NCAHP curriculum now requires at least 14 hours a week of studentship, simulation and skill labs, and a 2,400-hour internship, mandatory from 2026-27. AIIMS CRE still selects radiographers on a 100-question CBT, but since July 2025 every notice reserves the right to add a skill test to any group. What the documents say, what they do not, and how to prepare.
What happens to your image after you press scan
Iterative recon, deep-learning recon, parallel imaging, compressed sensing and AI denoising: what each one does to your images, and why it makes the person at the console matter more.
