Humans of Healthcare: The Interventional Radiologist

Have you had a procedure where you didn’t require open surgery, but had a catheter, needle or tube inserted into your body with the help of imaging technology? That’s one of the many areas of interventional radiology, a highly specialised area of medicine that uses minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat diseases. Dr Alex Tang, a Consultant Vascular and Interventional Radiologist, joins us to share more about this subspecialty, and the training involved.
