Who are Interventional Radiologists?
Interventional radiologists (IRs) are medical doctors. They are trained in the use of medical imaging to diagnose, treat and manage a variety of medical conditions. While fully capable of interpreting diagnostic images, they receive additional specialized training in performing minimally invasive procedures using various types of medical imaging. After four years of medical school, the interventional radiologist undergoes 6 or more years of dedicated residency and fellowship training. During this time they are trained in patient care, diagnostic imaging, medical physics and image guided procedures.
