What Turf Battle? Gynecologists versus Interventional Radiologists

(RADROUNDS) - Today, BioSphere Medical announced results regarding a study about the referral relationships between gynecologists and interventional radiologists. The study was published in the Journal of Minimally Invasive Gynecology. The study basically found that gynecologists who refer patients to interventional radiologists for UFE evaluation actually in the end receive in return an average of 19% more patients than they refer. So is there a turf battle at all? This is a clear "win win" as presented by this article which demonstrates perhaps that there is a symbiotic relationship between gynecology and radiology.
