Hi, I am Dr. Dev!
I am Dr Devpriyo Pal MD FRCR, a fellowship-trained MSK Radiologist with expertise in advanced spinal interventions.
Alongside clinical practice, I am actively involved in professional and academic work. I serve as Vice Chair of the ESSR Young Club and am a member of the ESSR Spine Subcommittee, currently working on the RADGames project.
In parallel, I am deeply involved in radiology education. I use illustrations, short videos, and structured explanations to break down difficult imaging concepts as they are encountered in real reporting and exam settings. I’m particularly interested in how technology and visual learning can support clearer thinking in radiology.
My Instagram account reflects this overlap between clinical work and education, with a growing community of over 140,000 people engaging with curated content on anatomy, imaging patterns, and radiological reasoning. I’m also active on X (Twitter), LinkedIn, and Threads, where I share longer reflections on radiology, training, and healthcare more broadly.

FRCR Exam Prep
My approach
I’ve been through the FRCR exams myself, and what stayed with me most wasn’t obscure facts or clever tricks—it was how much the exams reward clear thinking. In my experience, FRCR is less about memorising lists and more about understanding imaging principles, recognising patterns, and approaching cases in a structured, repeatable way.
Over time, through training, teaching, and watching others struggle and succeed, I’ve developed a way of thinking about FRCR that focuses on fundamentals, common pitfalls, and how exam conditions change the way we interpret images.
If you’re interested in how I think about preparing for FRCR—across 2A, 2B, and the exam mindset—I’ve written this out in more detail.

Research, Publication and Innovation
Alongside clinical work and teaching, I remain actively engaged in research, academic writing, and exploring how emerging technologies—particularly AI—can be applied thoughtfully to radiology practice and education.
Publication
My research and publications focus on musculoskeletal and trauma imaging, with an emphasis on practical imaging frameworks and clinically relevant insights.
AI and Digital Work
I have a growing interest in the responsible use of AI in radiology, ranging from imaging workflows and education to research design and clinical decision support. I actively engage with emerging tools and concepts, focusing on where they add real value rather than novelty.
