is rising alarmingly, due to changes in lifestyle and diet.
Clinical trials radiology is extremely relevant to prove the
efficacy, safety and affordability of any new treatment. With

Solutions was among the global pioneers to recognize the
importance of bridging geographical distances to provide timely
diagnosis. Radiology being a niche area, we are today facing an
acute shortage of qualified employable talent in India, which
includes health care personnel involved in teleradiology IT,
technologists and doctors trained in telemedicine. We believe
that superior training can bridge this gap and help us reach our
goal of establishing India as a hub for high quality
teleradiology and telemedicine services.” said Dr. Arjun
