RAD 4200 Interventional Radiology
Clinical Hands-On/Direct
Interventional Radiology is the newest recognized specialty in medicine. This exciting field uses imaging to guide minimally invasive procedures for both diagnosis and treatment. Some of the procedures students will see include: angiography, venography, lymphangiography, stenting, embolization, angioplasty, thermal ablation, biopsy, and drain placement. The IR rotation is a hands-on experience. Students will be an active member of the team, assisting with procedures and evaluating patients in both the in-patient and outpatient settings. Research opportunities are also available for those interested.
