your images. Your referring doctor, does not send the real images, he or
she will only fax a radiologist's report. A radiologist's report is good for
radiological interpretation, it may be different from pain physician's
perspective. Dr. Thiyaga is interested in examining a patient and correlate
pain with image findings and offer treatment options that will suit the
