How we teach
Our teaching is practical and guided. You work through actual DICOM studies, with explanations and opportunities to ask questions as you learn to recognise and report the findings. The aim is to help you return to work better able to assess scans and report with confidence.

Dr Ravi Padmanabhan is the Director of RAD/ED. Originally from Australia and now based in Singapore, he works in MSK and Spine MRI, CT and ultrasound imaging and intervention.
He has taught MSK and Spine MRI for more than 15 years, with an emphasis on building confidence in assessing and reporting scans rather than simply gathering facts.
Dr Ravi leads most RAD/ED Mini-Fellowships. RAD/ED also collaborates with other subspecialist radiologists, physicians and surgeons to broaden the scope of learning.
Dr Colin CW Chong
Dr Colin Chong is a senior MSK and interventional radiologist based in Brisbane and Sydney, Australia. He completed MSK fellowships at Vancouver General Hospital and a paediatric radiology fellowship at the Children’s Hospital at Westmead, Australia.
He performs specialist imaging for elite athletes and professional sports teams in Australia, New Zealand and Canada. He was an appointed MSK radiologist for the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games.
Colin is actively involved in teaching and research. He has been a keynote speaker and faculty member at more than 80 scientific conferences. His publications include contributions to a book on chronic and neuropathic pain.
He has been appointed by the Singapore government to train specialists in sports medicine, orthopaedics and radiology.
We’re very happy that Colin has joined us at RAD/ED to teach both MRI and ultrasound at a very high level, drawing on his clinical experience, research and work with athletes.
Dr Joe Thomas
Dr Joe Thomas is a senior consultant rheumatologist and Head of Rheumatology at Aster Medcity in Kochi, India. His clinical work includes assessing and treating complex rheumatological conditions, with a particular interest in musculoskeletal ultrasound and imaging.
Alongside his clinical practice, Joe is involved in research and has published more than 60 articles in national and international peer-reviewed journals. His qualifications include specialist training and certifications in rheumatology and musculoskeletal ultrasound.
At RAD/ED, Joe brings the clinical perspective to our imaging teaching. He helps explain how imaging findings relate to a patient’s symptoms and clinical assessment, what rheumatologists need from a radiology report, and how that information helps guide patient care.
Participants can discuss cases, ask questions and better understand the clinician’s perspective.
