Dear Colleagues, Esteemed Faculty, and Future Leaders of Radiology,

It is with immense pride and gratitude that I extend my warmest greetings to all participants of the Vellore Subchapter Radiology Conference, organized under the banner of the Indian Radiological Imaging Association. This gathering is not merely an academic event—it is a celebration of our shared commitment to excellence, innovation, and compassionate patient care.

Radiology has always stood at the crossroads of science and service. From the pioneering days of plain film imaging to today’s era of advanced modalities and artificial intelligence, our discipline has continually evolved to meet the needs of patients and clinicians alike. Yet, at its heart, radiology remains a human endeavour—rooted in precision, empathy, and the pursuit of truth through images.

This year’s conference theme—“ Clinical Radiology & Work-Life Balance ”—reflects our collective aspiration to harness emerging technologies while staying grounded in clinical wisdom. Whether it is structured reporting, fetal echocardiography, musculoskeletal imaging, or population-level studies, each session is a testament to the brilliance and dedication of our community.

I wish to especially acknowledge the educators and mentors who tirelessly shape the next generation of radiologists. To our residents and young professionals: you are the torchbearers of tomorrow. Let this conference ignite your curiosity, sharpen your skills, and remind you that every pixel holds a story—and every story deserves clarity and compassion.

As we convene in Vellore, a city renowned for its medical heritage and academic excellence, let us reaffirm our commitment to collaboration, curiosity, and courage. May this conference inspire us to challenge assumptions, share breakthroughs, and envision a future where radiology continues to illuminate the unseen and guide the path of healing.
Together, we are not just imaging the body—we are imaging the future.

With warm regards,

Dr. M.J. Srinivasan
