Faculty profiles
Prof Wady Gedroyc
Prof Wady Gedroyc is a Consultant Radiologist at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, Chair in Radiology at Imperial College London, and Medical Director of Magnetic Resonance Imaging at St Mary’s Hospital. He qualified in medicine in 1978 at St Mary's Hospital, London. He undertook radiology training at Guy’s Hospital, London and was an assistant Professor at Penn State University. He has been a full-time consultant at St Mary's since 1990. He has over 90 papers published in peer reviewed journals, mostly on MR related topics. These include multiple research papers on interventional MRI and the development of MRgFUS in various clinical situations. He is an international expert on MR-guided interventional techniques having treated nearly 500 patients with this procedure.
Dr Narayan Karunanithy
Dr Narayan Karunanithy qualified in 1999 with honours from Guy’s, King’s and St Thomas’ Medical School. After completing basic surgical and radiology training, he undertook fellowship training in interventional radiology at Imperial College London and musculoskeletal radiology at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore.

Dr Miranda Harvie
Miranda has been a consultant for more than 20 years, having trained in NZ before coming to the UK. The majority of her working life has been based in West London working as a general radiologist with subspecialty interests.
For this course she wants each of you to feel comfortable reviewing colorectal MRI cases, and in particular to have an understanding of rectal cancer MRI staging such that each of you can understand the nuts and bolts of a sub-specialist radiologist’s report, sufficient to be able to review such a case with clinical colleagues as needed e.g. in the absence of the reporter. With luck, a few may be suitably excited by this challenging corner of radiology to use this as a springboard to seek more extensive training, but also to understand the role of MRI in problem solving those occasional colorectal conundrums.
Miranda spends much of her spare time in a 10-pole allotment, which her family have much difficulty removing her from at the weekends.

Access to cases for our imaging events
Our imaging courses are very much an interactive experience. Presentations are kept to the minimum and then you'll be into the fully featured cloud based DICOM viewer, looking at cases, feeding back your findings using our interactive tools. You'll get immediate feedback and learning points from our expert faculty member.
- Attendance of the course includes access to the database of cases associated to this event on our server at PostDICOM.
- Full access to each case with a full toolset to open, view and manipulate each case alongside the faculty but on your own screen!
- You will maintain your access to the resource throughout your 60 day catch-service period too.
