I am deeply honoured to have been elected as the president of our prestigious Breast Imaging Society, India. It is my great pleasure and proud privilege that I have been given this responsibility of BISI at its 10th Anniversary. As I have been a member for a long time, I have seen the Society’s steady growth because of the hard works of all of its past presidents, office bearers and incredibly dedicated & enthusiastic members.

I have every confidence that the new Council will lead BISI to even greater heights by collaborating amicably and productively with both experienced and junior BISI members. We shall continue to host the academic feasts that our society has been providing to fulfil the main objective of the society i.e. promotion of world class breast imaging practice and to provide better care for our patients. India is falling behind in two areas: breast cancer screening and high-quality research. We would strive to address these shortcomings and expand upon these scenarios.

I am delighted to serve as the General Secretary of the Breast Imaging Society, India, until 2025, embracing this responsibility with a profound commitment to uphold the principles that have defined BISI throughout its existence. From its inception in 2013 to 2023, the society has been a catalyst in revolutionizing Breast Imaging practices across India, leaving an indelible mark on the field.

BISI’s decade-long journey witnessed the successful cultivation of a renewed interest among radiologists, inspiring them to pursue dedicated fellowships in Breast Imaging both within India and overseas. Rooted in a commitment to academic excellence, every BISI member embodies the passion that characterizes our niche specialty. Working in synergy under the adept leadership of our President, Dr. Prem Kumar, and alongside proficient members of the Executive and Governing Councils, my objective is to amplify this passion further.
