who are interventional radiologists.?
826045
Interventional Radiology (abbreviated IR or sometimes IVR) is a doctor with subspecialty of radiology in which minimally invasive procedures are performed using image guidance. Some of these procedures are done for purely diagnostic purposes (e.g., angiograms), while others are done for treatment purposes (e.g., angioplasties). Pictures (images) are used to direct these procedures, which are usually done with needles or other tiny instruments like small tubes called catheters. The images provide road maps that allow the Interventional Radiologist to guide these instruments through the body to the areas of interest.\n\nThe advancements in the field of radiological imaging such as the Seldinger technique, together with innovations in instrumentation, led to a rapid development in interventional procedures in the 1970s. Cardiovascular procedures were found out to be particularly well-suited for guided and minimally invasive operations, and catheterization remains as one of the main applications for interventional radiology.\n\nCommon interventional imaging methods include X-ray fluoroscopy, computed tomography (CT), ultrasound (US), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Fluoroscopy and computed tomography use ionizing radiation that may be potentially harmful to the patient and, in the case of fluoroscopy, the interventional radiologist. However, both methods have the advantages of being fast and geometrically accurate. Ultrasound suffers from image quality and tissue contrast problems, but is also fast and inexpensive. Magnetic resonance imaging provides superior tissue contrast, at the cost of being expensive and requiring specialized instruments that will not interact with the magnetic fields present in the imaging volume-.

There was an article in the New England Journal of Medicine this week (won't expect that you've read it...) about the outsourcing of Radiology to India, meaning a small number of hospitals are electronically sending off CT scans, x-rays etc. to be read by radiologists living in India (to be fair they are assumed to have had residency training in the U.S. although the article states they have experimented briefly with Indian trained radiologists). The article says this may herald the beginning of outsourcing medicine. There are already "virtual" ICU's...doctors sitting in remote area's monitoring ICU patients by real time video. \n\nPersonally on a whole, I think this is not a great idea. There are people in this country who are unemployed and might want one of those call-center jobs that Dell has exported to Bangalore. And I'd rather be able to walk down to radiology to speak with a radiologist about specific details of a CT, sometimes this little extra effort has made a great deal of difference. Just thoughts.

I am a diagnostic radiographer (radiologic technologist). I love the job even though it won't make me rich. Why? Because you meet great people (patients and staff) and hospitals are great places to work - exciting, fun and sociable. \n\nMy job is a perfect blend of clinical skills and high tech. Its never the same on two successive days and there is huge variety in the specialisms available.\n\nI have worked in countries all over the World - my qualification is my passport and I've never had to struggle to stay in work - radiographers are in short supply everywhere. \n\nI guess the best thing - I'm proud of what I do - how many people can truthfully say that?

Depending on the extent of the disease, treatment will lead to meeting different specialists.\nDiagnosis will take you to: Radiologist, pathologist, medical lab tech, general surgeon (or breast surgeon).\nTreatment: radio- or medical oncologist, general (breast) surgeon.\nIf that's all too much, the most important people that would be involved in caring for you and seeing you the most would be the surgeon or oncologist, depending on the mode of treatment, and they can often be combined surgery and drug and radiation. These two people would consult with the other specialists who you may not actually meet. \nSo if you want to meet someone for breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, meet the surgeon and oncologist.

Do you mean "Radiation Oncology"?\nRadiation Oncology- sum of knowledge regarding treatment of tumours by radiation. \nA radiation oncologist is a doctor who specialises in the treatment of cancer patients, using radiation as the main modality of treatment as opposed to a medical oncologist who is a doctor who uses chemotherapy as the preferred modality of treatment.\nThere are two types of radiotherapy - delivered from outside the body by a machine, and using radioactive implants placed inside the body.\nPlease see the webpages for more details on Radiation therapy.

there they are more than doctors..very good scope

They are M.D.'s with advanced training in radiology.Do you think that they just take and read xrays or something? If you do then you don't understand all the things that radiologists do.

I am a registered radiologic technologist and a registered/certified nuclear medicine tech.  I'm not exactly sure about what tools you're talking about?  For regular x-ray there is the tube; the part that looks like a camera.  Inside of the tube is a high voltage circuit that shoots electrons from a cathode to a rotating anode made of tungsten.  Due to the principles of cascading electrons in the electron shells of the tungsten, x-rays are produced. The other part is the film or receiving screen, this is always put behind the anatomy that the radiographer is evaluating.  Once the tube shoots the x-ray, the varying densities in the tissue allow different amounts of rays through to the film. This is the reason on x-ray images that bone shows up the lightest, bone is most dense, thus it allows the least rays through.  Barium, which is used in digestive tract imagine has a high density, so it can highlight anatomy when you drink it.  Lead is used to block any radiosensitive anatomy not included in the image such as gonads, thyroid, eyes, etc..

A radiologist is an M.D.  You need a college degree, four years of medical school, one year of internship, and four years of residency to start making the big bucks.

Aneurysms are diagnosed through some sort of radiology studies.  For aortic aneurysms, usual tests include CT scan, MRI, or ultrasound (if it is in the abdomen).  For smaller aneurysm (i.e. intracranial aneurysms), they can now be diagnosed by MR angiography or CT angiography.  Conventional angiography, requiring inserting long catheters into the arteries and injecting a dye to see the blood vessels, has become more or less obsolete as CT and MR imaging technology has advanced.

East coast fl...I am a Surgical Tech but my aunt is head of the Radiography department. X-ray techs are a vital part of the healthcare industry. It is a reliable and growing field. Ask a local hospital if you can do a "shadow" of the department. Tell them you are going to be entering the program and would like to see how and what is envolved. You can also specialize in areas such as ultra sound tech to. YOu can do both and be more valuable. Try payscale.com for pay. Realize though that you have to consider the type of place, Hospital, or private practice, and many times you can get job placement through school. I hope that you really check on this it is a great area of healthcare.
