Dr. Francis G

A 72-year-old retired fisherman from coastal Tamil Nadu arrived with suspected lung cancer. Dr. Francis G's innovative PET-CT fusion imaging revealed instead a rare fungal infection from his occupational exposure. The non-invasive diagnosis prevented unnecessary surgery, with treatment completed in 6 weeks through antifungal medication and his daughters' supportive care.

An 8-year-old boy from an affluent family presented with persistent abdominal pain. Dr. Francis G employed low-dose pediatric CT protocols to diagnose an unusual intestinal duplication cyst. The family opted for immediate laparoscopic removal, with the child making a complete recovery in 10 days under his parents' constant supervision.

A 45-year-old construction worker with limited healthcare access was found to have multiple old fractures. Dr. Francis G's detailed musculoskeletal ultrasound revealed an underlying osteogenesis imperfecta variant. Genetic counseling and bisphosphonate therapy initiated, with the patient showing improved bone density over 18 months through hospital-sponsored treatment.

A 33-year-old pregnant woman from a middle-class background developed unusual pelvic pain. Dr. Francis G performed a radiation-free MR pelvimetry that identified a previously undiagnosed bicornuate uterus causing obstetric complications. Customized delivery planning resulted in successful cesarean section and healthy baby, with recovery monitored over 6 postpartum weeks.

A 28-year-old female software engineer from Bangalore presented with unexplained neurological symptoms. Dr. Francis G utilized advanced fMRI to identify a rare vascular malformation that conventional scans missed. The precise mapping allowed for targeted embolization, resulting in full neurological recovery within 3 months with no family involvement as the patient was living independently.
