Dr Aisha Touray is enrolled in the specialization program of radiology at the University Hospital of Lausanne where she pursued her medical studies. During her undergraduate medical studies, she gained clinical experience in economically disadvantaged parts of the world by doing internships in The Gambia and in Senegal. During these very enrichening internships, the need for adapted medical literature became very evident to Dr Touray. This virtual lack of field-oriented medical literature served as a motivating factor to realize this manual.
