Episode 48: Unlocking radiology's potential: The synergy between interventional and diagnostic radiology
Many people are sort of viewing it as an either/or—either you have an OBL or you're tied to a diagnostic department. And from my perspective, it's like ... it's actually synergistic to have both. —Radiology Chief James Brink, MD, FACR
Host interventional radiologist Warren Krackov, MD, FSIR, speaks with James Brink, MD, FACR, chair of radiology at Massachusetts General Hospital and the Brigham and Women's Hospital, about whether interventional radiology and diagnostic radiology are stronger together, what brought him to support IR services in his radiology practice, the Society of Interventional Radiology and American College of Radiology town hall on the topic, and more.
