I’ve had so many requests to have this incredible gentleman back on the show that I had to do a reprise of his episode with us—and I promise we will have him back to discuss much more!
We invite you to join us for a special reprise episode of the Pod of Inquiry Podcast featuring Sandip Biswal, M.D., discussing S1R MRI/PET scanning. This is sure to be an interesting and informative show that will leave you with new understanding on this important and really exciting topic. Dr. Biswal is a leading expert in the field of diagnostic imaging and has performed extensive research on S1R MRI/PET scanning technology. He will share his insights into how these scans can help diagnose what is the true pain generator. You won’t want to miss it! We hope you can join us!
