People Talking: Interventional Radiology

Minimally invasive treatments are available for many diseases, but few patients know to ask about them or to seek out a second opinion from an interventional radiologist. Many primary care doctors may not be aware of new IR advances, and most specialists (i.e., gynecologists, urologists) are surgically trained and may not know of new minimally invasive treatments. With people talking and sharing on the Internet, this may change—with patients seeking the least invasive practitioner for consult first.
