Who are Interventional Radiologists?

Interventional radiologists are board-certified physicians who specialize in minimally invasive, targeted treatments.
They offer the most in-depth knowledge of the least invasive treatments available coupled with diagnostic and clinical
experience across all specialties. As the inventors of angioplasty and the catheter-delivered stent, which were first used in the legs to treat peripheral arterial disease, interventional radiologists pioneered minimally invasive modern
medicine.

According to SIR's 2006-2007 Socioeconomic Survey:

• 59% of members expect to be providing IR services in a freestanding setting within three years
• 62% of members reported their IR groups support their efforts to establish a clinical practice
• 75% of members reported they have dedicated hours to see patients
• 83% of members reported they have dedicated office space
• Interventional radiology practices reported that central venous access, biopsy, oncology, MRA, CTA, breast, embo (non CNS), breast interventions, neurointerventions, vertebroplasty and E&M services are all on the rise in terms of procedure volume.
