About Us
Fetal MRI Community [FMRC]
Founded – April 2024, New Delhi.Background: With rapid advancements in imaging technology, Fetal MRI has now emerged as an
important modality for imaging of the fetus. Fetal MRI is a key ‘problem-solving’ imaging option after the initial Ultrasound assessment. Fetal MRI offers an additional dimension for the comprehensive evaluation of the fetus in obstetric practice. The incremental value of Fetal MRI in wide range of clinical settings offers additional information for better prognostication of the fetus and allows better parental counselling and evidence-based clinical decision-making.As per Medical Termination of Pregnancy (Amendment) Act, 2021, the gestational limit for termination of a pregnancy in India has been increased from 20 to 24 weeks, in special cases. This allows an additional window period of 4 weeks when MRI may be optimally performed for detailed assessment of the fetal structures and to rule out the possibility of an underlying structural abnormality. This is likely to have positive impact on Fetal MRI in India in terms of its use in clinical practice.Fetal MRI Community [FMRC] is an initiative to collectively embark on this journey towards advanced
‘multi-modality fetal imaging’ where ultrasound is offered as the first-line imaging option and fetal MRI
as a robust ‘problem-solving’ imaging modality.Vision and Objectives:1. To serve as the common platform for the Radiologists and other experts who utilize Fetal MR
Imaging in clinical and academic practice.2. To establish and continually improve the acquisition technique and protocols for fetal MRI studies.3. To understand and implement the learning points for optimal image interpretation in Fetal MRI.4. To set highest standards of fetal MRI practice in India with positive impact on patient care.5. To create greater awareness among clinicians and patients regarding the role of Fetal MRI.6. To work towards the growth and advancement of the clinical fetal MRI practice in India.7. To promote the practice of advanced ‘multi-modality fetal imaging’ where ultrasound is offered as the first-line imaging option and fetal MRI as a robust ‘problem-solving’ imaging modality.

Vision and Objective
Radiology is the branch of Medicine which deals with the scientific use of Imaging Technology for the disease diagnosis and minimally-invasive treatment. Radiology is one of the post-Graduate courses in Medicine. The post-graduate courses in Radiology in India included MD, DNB, DMRD in Radiology (Radio-Diagnosis, Radiological Sciences, Diagnostic & Interventional Radiology). The examination for DNB courses are conducted by National Board of Examinations, New Delhi, while the MD / DMRD exams are conducted by the respective University.
DelRad - Radiology Resident Courses [D-RRC] is a duly registered Association of Persons [AOP] and is conducting Radiology Resident Courses since 2015 (twice every year). These are exam-oriented preparatory courses for the post-graduate Radiology students to enhance their chances of success in the Radiology examinations. These courses are conducted at the Auditorium, Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, New Delhi.
DelRad - Radiology Resident Courses is purely an academic initiative and ‘not for profit’, which aim to impart post-graduate education to the Radiology students and particularly focus on the exam-going students. The registration charges for the courses are only utilized to manage the expenses involved in the course organization. These predominantly include catering, advertising, delegate kit, faculty mementos, performance-based prizes/incentives for the students and scholarship for the students.
These courses are initiated with the sole objective of helping the exam-going post-graduate students in Radiology and to improve the standards of post-graduate Radiology education in India. We have no intentions or motives to translate or transform this noble initiative into a commercial venture in any form.
The course is open to all the Radiology post-graduate students in India and abroad. The course will particularly benefit post-graduate students who are appearing for Radiology DNB, MD, DMRD exams or any other exams in Radiology in near future.

"The art of MEDICINE consists in amusing the patient, while the NATURE cures the disease”…Reading today, this famous quote by Voltaire made as early as 17th century, does seem to underplay the crucial role medical professionals play in alleviating the human sufferings. But if we read ‘between the lines’, the quote does make lot of sense without understating the science of Medicine and the role of medical professionals. It simply emphasizes the impact of Mother Nature in life of humans during health and disease.Amid scientific advancements and technological innovations, the human’s thought process today certainly has a greater scientific inclination than ever before. With same scientific temperament, Doctors tend to seek scientific explanations and evidence-based solutions to provide relief to the suffering patient. ‘Patient-centric’ approach and ‘Problem-solving’ attitude are certainly vital assets of a good Doctor. In present times, we all need to understand the limitations of scientific knowledge, potential side-effects of technology and implications of widespread commercialism. It is time that we realize and respect the role of Mother Nature in disease processes and follow the nature’s laws.As Leonardo da Vinci mentioned in 15th century itself.“Vitality and Beauty are gifts of Nature for those, who live according to its laws”.We, at Evidence Healthcare Clinic, work on same philosophy and believe in sincere, ethical and balanced approach towards our work and patients. Whether it is use of diagnostic investigations or line of treatment, we always adopt a ‘balanced’ approach rather than being too ‘aggressive’ or too ‘conservative’. We always integrate clinical skills and scientific evidence with due respect to patient’s preferences to provide ‘state-of-the-art’ healthcare services. We practice ‘Evidence-based Medicine’ with high standards of sincerity and medical ethics so as to ensure high healthcare standards for our patients without compromising the sync with Nature.
