“The reason I was drawn to the medical field was an intrinsic interest in the human body and mind, coupled with a strong desire to help people maintain this in a healthy and wholesome manner.”

— Dr. Jagtiani

What brought you to radiology?

The challenge of radiology is that it requires one to know a little bit about every subspecialty and to maintain this holistic approach while providing care. It’s a bit like solving a jigsaw puzzle at times, and I enjoy this part of it because of my varied exposure and training in general surgery and clinical imaging, from three continents. I treat patients as my own family while providing care.

Do you have any interesting stories about providing care you’d like to share?

When I was practicing in England, I walked into an exam room in business mode to scan a patient. As I entered, the lights were on, and I said to the sonographer, “Can we switch the lights off, please, so I can see better?” And the patient burst out laughing. We radiologists tend to live in a dark room viewing images. We all enjoyed the humor of the situation.

We make promising new treatments available to you through studies called clinical trials led by Fred Hutch physicians. Many of these trials at Fred Hutch have led to FDA-approved treatments and have improved standards of care globally. Together, you and your physician can decide if a study is right for you.
