It is inconceivable, not to mention detrimental to patients, that interventional radiology (IR) still lacks recognition as an independent medical specialty. Minimally invasive techniques are the future of medical treatments, and IR has been a leader in this field for 60 years, inventing and executing new and innovative treatments. In this episode, we talk to two experts, Mohamad Hamady (Imperial College London, London/GB) and Michael Lee (Beaumont Hospital, Dublin/IE), about where IR stands and how to move forward.
