Radiologist Stories: Life at 5C Network
Three radiologists, three career stages, one platform. Real experiences from professionals who report for 5C Network across India.
TL;DR
5C radiologists report from across India — from metropolitan cities to small towns. Three radiologists share their experience: a neuroradiology subspecialist who doubled their complex case volume, a general radiologist who matched hospital salary with flexible hours, and a fresh DNB graduate who built their career from day one with AI-assisted mentorship.

Story 01 — Subspecialist
Dr. A — Neuroradiologist
12 years experience · Reports from Bangalore
Before 5C
- — Hospital role with fixed schedule, limited flexibility
- — 15 MRI neuro cases per day on average
- — Manual measurements, repetitive normal studies
- — Rigid shift structure, no choice of hours
After 5C
- ✓ Reports 30+ MRI neuro cases per day from home
- ✓ Bionic AI handles automated measurements
- ✓ AI pre-reads filter normals, more time on complex cases
- ✓ Flexible hours, reports when most productive
2x volume
with higher diagnostic confidence
"Bionic pre-reads the normal studies so I can focus on the complex pathology. My diagnostic accuracy hasn't dropped — if anything, the AI catches things I might miss at 2 AM."
— Dr. A, Neuroradiologist, Bangalore
Story 02 — Generalist
Dr. B — General Radiologist
7 years experience · Reports from Pune
Before 5C
- — Hospital salary of approximately 28 LPA
- — Mandatory night shifts, no schedule control
- — Limited modality choice — assigned whatever came in
- — Full 8-10 hour days with commute
After 5C
- ✓ Reports X-ray + CT mix, chosen modalities
- ✓ 4-5 hours per day, part-time schedule
- ✓ Income matches previous hospital salary
- ✓ No commute, no mandatory night shifts
Same earnings
in half the hours
"I started part-time alongside my hospital role. Within 3 months, my 5C earnings matched what I was making at the hospital. The flexibility is what I value most."
— Dr. B, General Radiologist, Pune
Story 03 — Early Career
Dr. C — Fresh DNB Graduate
First year of practice · Reports from Jaipur
Before 5C
- — Just completed DNB, uncertain next step
- — Struggling to find roles with reasonable terms
- — Limited real-world case exposure post-residency
- — No mentorship or structured growth path
After 5C
- ✓ Started with X-ray, now reports CT as well
- ✓ Earnings grew 40% in the first 6 months
- ✓ Exposed to cases from 200+ facilities across India
- ✓ AI-assisted workflow acts as a safety net for learning
40% growth
in earnings within 6 months
"As a fresh graduate, I was worried about getting enough exposure. At 5C, I see more variety in a week than I would in a month at a single hospital. The AI acts like a senior colleague looking over my shoulder."
— Dr. C, DNB Radiologist, Jaipur
