Episode 30: Improving patient care through the VIRTEX Data Registry
If you think, "You know, I do what other people do but I do it a little bit better," you really should know whether that is indeed the case. So , do I really do my procedure with the best efficiency? the lowest cost? the lowest radiation? the lowest contrast dose? That's the idea. Be armed with data." —Matthew S. Johnson, MD, FSIR
Guest host Jaimin Shah, MD, speaks with Raj Shah, MD, FSIR, and Matthew S. Johnson, MD, FSIR, about how participating in the VIRTEX Data Registry helps interventional radiologists demonstrate their value, improve patient care and strengthen the specialty.
