Increasing the use of intravascular ultrasound when performing lower-extremity revascularization procedures could limit complications and improve patient outcomes, according to new recommendations from several medical societies.

Richard Heller, MD, a member of the RSNA Board and associate CMO for Rad Partners, explains the impact of the 2024 Medicare cuts and what is at stake.

Jonathan Gross, MD, argues that diagnostic and interventional radiology were “not developed with sustainability in mind.”

Ramon Varcoe, MBBS, co-principal investigator for the LIFE-BTK trial, discussed the results with Cardiovascular Business at TCT 2023. "I can't wait to start using these in my patients. It's going to make a huge difference."

Datapoints contained in structured radiology reports can be readily mined to guide decisions around long-term clinical, business and population-health aims. 

New data derived from the survey responses of fourth year medical students reveal a significant gap in students’ exposure to and knowledge of the specialty. 

Gaps in mentorship are of particular concern for students who might have otherwise pursued a career path in IR, data show.

This could pose as a barrier to referrals for image-guided interventions for radiologists specializing in IR, authors of a new paper in Clinical Imaging suggested.
