Dr. Kiran Maddu, Board Certified Radiologist (USA)

Please briefly describe who you are and your role?

I am Dr. Kiran Maddu, a Board Certified Radiologist and I joined as Faculty at Emory University, Atlanta, GA in July 2015 as Assistant Professor. I work in the ETI (Emergency and Trauma Imaging) division which is the emergency radiology division at Emory University. I teach Radiology Residents, Medical Students, and NP Students.

What problems were you attempting to solve when you started using STATdx?

Being part of Emory University we have access to STATdx and it was of great help in teaching radiology since I was a fellow at Emory. Emergency Radiology is more like general radiology and given the vast extent of general radiology, STATdx is very instrumental in searching for details on each topic.

From your point of view, what are the biggest benefits you found in using STATdx in your day-to-day routine?

The topics are well-classified topics-wise, you can quickly go through the notes on the topic and also look into the galactic collection of images on most of the topics. It adds value to the quality of patient care and is also extremely beneficial in teaching students. The other huge benefit is while giving lectures and conferences - STATdx illustrations are one of my primary resources.

What’s the primary reason you would recommend STATdx?

Easy to go through the topics - quick, effective, and a good number of examples.

Is it important in your daily clinical activity to have diagnostic support tools?

Yes, it is very important to have reliable diagnostic tools in day-to-day practice. When you are going through differential diagnosis in a busy day practice - diagnostic tools help us in giving the best patient care possible.

It adds value to the quality of patient care and is also extremely beneficial in teaching students.
