Dr Sacharias and Radiology for Students - Beyond a Textbook. Teaching was an important part of Dr Sacharias' life both direct student teaching as well as through the medium Radiology Beyond a Textbook.
The Monkey Dinner was organised in the Zoo by Radiologists who had trained in the Department at the Alfred Hospital and one is particularly pleased to see Dr. Colin Laing in the front seat, Senior Honorary Radiologist and Dr. Les Dougdale, as Deputy Director (Front Left of Group)
This was presented at the Monkey Dinner held at the Zoo in 1997. Ninaspeak was a collation of phrases used in angiography and all staff working there had to be familiar with it.
Receiving some financial help to support the film library. Dr. Sacharias is pictured with here with Dr. Ken Thompson.
Several years later, forty two Radiologists attended the Dinosaur Luncheon. Dr Michael Moran who organised the event is sitting in the center of the front row.
To show that we still enjoy each other’s company even if most of our time is spent far apart, united by happy memories.

A continuous interest of Dr. Sacharias is in teaching, both at undergraduate and postgraduate level. It is expressed in the gradual growth of the Film Library where the enthusiastic contribution of Registrars and Staff members led to a collection of 14,000 cases. A by-product of this was the teaching DVD : Radiology Beyond a Textbook which was developed by Dr. Sacharias, Dr. Andrew Solomons, Dr. Mark Schoenwalder and lastly Dr. William Rose who remained her assistant for several years, where more than 2,000 images are described in a spoken text freeing the student from having to read the text as well as having to study the images simultaneously. Sixteen presentations are given, excluding Paediatrics and Gynaecology and Obstetrics as these were not practiced at the Alfred Hospital at the time of writing. There is a small separate section of five talks on the imaging modalities used in Medical Practice.
Written by a student on their blog:
"Grandma of Radiology: I’m also on a Radiology rotation, so Tuesday is radiology day! I’ve never been really keen on radiology but after meeting the sweet Dr Nina Sacharias who calls herself “the grandma of Radiology” I almost don’t want to admit that radiology is kind of fun :p Nina is the sweetest and funniest little lady and she greets us with “Good morning my children.” :) I swear she must be 70 or 80 but she’s still as sharp as ever and has the cutest analogies to keep us interested despite 3 hours of learning how to read x-rays."
