The 抖阴pro Department of Radiology offers a five-year fully-accredited residency program in Interventional Radiology following a yearlong clinical internship.
Group of six residents outside hospital
Interventional Radiology Training
The program accepts one resident per year. The first three years of training emphasize the development of strong diagnostic radiology skills and therefore closely mirrors the Diagnostic Radiology Residency Program. Basic image-guided interventions are acquired during this time by rotating through IR at least once per year. The final two years of training prepare the trainee for advanced image-guided interventions with mostly IR and IR-related rotations. At the completion of the residency, graduates are dual certified in interventional and diagnostic radiology, capable of excelling in both academic and private practice.
Our faculty have expertise in a wide range of adult and pediatric procedures including TIPS, TACE, Y-90 radiotherapy, thermal ablation, cryoablation, dialysis interventions, biliary interventions, uterine fibroid embolization, prostate artery embolization, kyphoplasty/vertebroplasty, trauma, IVC filters, angioplasty/stenting, thrombolysis, and more.
The department boasts a robust interventional radiology clinic, inpatient admitting service, and several multidisciplinary conferences including liver tumor board, GI tumor board, and musculoskeletal tumor board.
