Dr. Khushboo Pilania Agrawal Contributes to Radiology Education at the Resident Review Course (RRC) 2026, Nashik
Radiology plays a pivotal role in modern healthcare, influencing clinical decision-making across every medical specialty. With rapid advancements in imaging technology and increasing emphasis on subspecialty reporting, continuous learning has become essential for radiology residents and young practitioners. Structured review courses provide an ideal platform to strengthen core concepts, improve reporting skills, and prepare for postgraduate examinations while learning directly from experienced faculty.
Keeping this objective in mind, the Resident Review Course (RRC) 2026, an All India 3-Day Intensive, In-Person Teaching Radiology Programme, was organized by the Radiology Education Foundation (REF) in collaboration with SMBT Institute of Medical Sciences & Research Centre (SMBT IMS & RC), Nashik. The course was held from 3rd to 5th July 2026 at the SMBT Campus, Nandi Hills, Igatpuri, Nashik, bringing together eminent radiologists from across the country to provide comprehensive teaching covering every major subspecialty in radiology.
Designed specifically for postgraduate residents and young radiologists, the programme focused on exam-oriented learning through structured lectures, spotter sessions, case reviews, viva discussions, and practical imaging approaches. Over three intensive days, participants received systematic teaching in neuroimaging, head and neck radiology, musculoskeletal imaging, chest radiology, body imaging, and oncologic imaging, making it one of the most comprehensive resident teaching programmes conducted in India.
Among the distinguished faculty members was Dr. Khushboo Pilania Agrawal, Consultant Radiologist and Founder of Izen Imaging & Intervention, Noida. During the course, she conducted multiple academic sessions covering Shoulder Imaging, Knee Imaging, Hip Imaging, Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILD), and Pulmonary Thromboembolism, sharing practical insights into musculoskeletal and thoracic imaging with radiology residents from across the country.

About Resident Review Course (RRC) 2026
The Resident Review Course (RRC) has become one of India’s most respected educational initiatives for postgraduate radiology training. Organized by the Radiology Education Foundation (REF), the programme provides structured, high-yield teaching designed to prepare residents for university examinations, practical assessments, and independent clinical reporting.
The 2026 edition covered every major subspecialty of radiology through an intensive three-day schedule. Topics ranged from neuroimaging and head-neck radiology to musculoskeletal imaging, thoracic imaging, abdominal radiology, and oncologic imaging. Each lecture was designed with a practical approach, combining theoretical concepts with real-life imaging cases, differential diagnosis, and examination-oriented discussions.
The course also emphasized spotter sessions, viva preparation, structured reporting techniques, and case-based learning, helping participants strengthen both academic knowledge and clinical decision-making skills.
Shoulder Imaging – Understanding Complex Joint Pathology
Dr. Khushboo Pilania Agrawal began the musculoskeletal radiology sessions with an expert lecture on Shoulder Imaging. The shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in the human body and is frequently affected by traumatic injuries, degenerative disorders, and sports-related conditions.
During her session, she discussed the role of MRI and ultrasound in evaluating rotator cuff tears, labral injuries, impingement syndrome, adhesive capsulitis, tendon disorders, instability, and muscle injuries. Participants learned how to systematically assess shoulder anatomy, recognize common imaging findings, and differentiate normal anatomical variations from pathological conditions.
The lecture emphasized structured reporting and the importance of correlating imaging findings with clinical symptoms to assist orthopedic surgeons and sports medicine specialists in planning appropriate treatment.
Knee Imaging – A Systematic MRI Approach
The second session focused on Knee Imaging, one of the most frequently requested MRI examinations in musculoskeletal radiology.
Dr. Khushboo explained the systematic evaluation of ligaments, menisci, cartilage, bone marrow, tendons, and surrounding soft tissues. She discussed common conditions including anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) tears, meniscal injuries, osteochondral defects, degenerative arthritis, bone bruises, and inflammatory disorders.
Through practical examples, participants learned how a structured MRI approach improves reporting accuracy while reducing diagnostic errors. The session also highlighted the importance of recognizing subtle findings that significantly influence surgical planning and rehabilitation.
Hip Imaging – Advanced MRI Interpretation
The third musculoskeletal lecture addressed Hip Imaging, an area that often presents diagnostic challenges because of the complex anatomy and wide spectrum of disorders affecting the hip joint.
Dr. Khushboo discussed MRI evaluation of femoroacetabular impingement, labral tears, avascular necrosis, stress fractures, tendon abnormalities, muscle injuries, and inflammatory arthropathies. She explained how early imaging findings allow clinicians to initiate treatment before irreversible joint damage occurs.
The lecture reinforced the importance of selecting appropriate MRI protocols and understanding normal anatomical variants while interpreting hip examinations.
Interstitial Lung Diseases – A Structured Imaging Approach
Beyond musculoskeletal radiology, Dr. Khushboo also delivered an important lecture on Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILD) as part of the chest radiology programme.
Interstitial Lung Diseases represent a diverse group of pulmonary disorders that require careful interpretation of High-Resolution CT (HRCT) findings. During her presentation, she discussed systematic HRCT evaluation, pattern recognition, and differentiation between common ILD subtypes including Usual Interstitial Pneumonia (UIP), Non-Specific Interstitial Pneumonia (NSIP), hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and other diffuse lung diseases.
Participants learned how radiological findings correlate with clinical presentation and how structured reporting contributes to accurate diagnosis and multidisciplinary patient management.
Pulmonary Thromboembolism – The Role of Advanced Imaging
Another significant session conducted by Dr. Khushboo focused on Pulmonary Thromboembolism, highlighting the critical role of CT Pulmonary Angiography (CTPA) in diagnosing acute pulmonary embolism.
She explained the imaging features of pulmonary embolism, interpretation of vascular filling defects, assessment of clot burden, and identification of right heart strain. The session also covered differential diagnoses, imaging pitfalls, and the importance of timely diagnosis in reducing mortality associated with pulmonary thromboembolic disease.
By integrating imaging findings with clinical assessment, participants gained practical insights into managing one of the most important emergencies encountered in thoracic radiology.
Commitment to Radiology Education
One of the major strengths of the Resident Review Course was its focus on interactive and examination-oriented teaching. Instead of traditional didactic lectures, the programme encouraged participants to develop systematic reporting skills, improve pattern recognition, and build confidence through case-based discussions and viva-style learning.
The combination of expert faculty, structured teaching schedules, and comprehensive coverage of radiology subspecialties made the programme an invaluable educational experience for postgraduate residents preparing for clinical practice and professional examinations.
Izen Imaging & Intervention – Supporting Academic Excellence
