Interventional radiology is a comparatively new sub-specialty of radiology, sometimes known as ‘surgical radiology’. It is often mistakenly viewed as a purely diagnostic radiology service where patients and the clinical community are commonly unaware of the benefits of interventional radiology

Physicians practicing in the field of radiology specialize in diagnostic radiology, of subspecialties. The radiology specialty board also certifies in medical physics and issues specific certificates within this discipline. Among the imaging technologies that comprise radiology are x-rays (“plain film”),
A Radiology Information System is software used by radiology centers and departments to manage the scheduling, processing, reporting, and billing of patients and their studies. Many RIS products are only capable of unidirectional communication with outside systems like McKesson Radiology. In this situation the RIS will inform McKesson Radiology
interventional radiology, nuclear medicine and medical physics by advancing the science of radiology, improving quality of patient care, positively influencing the socio-economics of the practice of radiology, providing continuing education for radiology and allied health professions and conducting research for the future of radiology. 3
