RADIOLOGY
351. The Radiological Service, under the overall direction of the Senior Specialist in Radiology, consists of three branches-radiodiagnosis, radio- therapy and medical physics. It serves mainly Government institutions, but consultant services are also available to Government-assisted hospitals and to private medical practitioners on request. The headquarters of the service was situated for most of the year in the Queen Mary Hospital, but was being transferred gradually to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital by March, 1964.
352. The Senior Specialist and his staff undertake the instruction of medical undergraduates of the Hong Kong University in the basic principles of radiology. They also conduct in-service post-graduate training courses for radiologists leading to the Diplomas in Medical Radiodiagnosis and Medical Radiotherapy (D.M.R.D. and D.M.R.T. respectively) awarded jointly by the Royal College of Physicians, London, and the Royal College of Surgeons, England. Courses of instruction for student radiographers in preparation for the examinations for the Membership of the Society of Radiographers (London) are also main- tained.
