(D.M. Interventional radiology) usually last three years and provide intensive training in procedural skills, patient management, and the use of specialized equipment. During the residency, trainees gain hands-on experience performing a wide range of minimally invasive procedures under the guidance of experienced faculty members. These procedures include angiography, angioplasty, stenting, embolization, biopsy, drainage, and more.

In addition to clinical training, interventional radiology programs often include a comprehensive didactic curriculum. This may involve regular lectures, case discussions, journal clubs, and other educational activities to ensure a strong understanding of the underlying principles and current practices in the field.

Interventional radiology programs encourage residents to participate in research projects in form of thesis to advance the field's knowledge and improve patient care. Residents may have the opportunity to conduct clinical research, basic science research, or quality improvement projects during their training.

Multidisciplinary Collaboration

Interventional radiologists often work closely with other medical specialties, such as oncology, cardiology, surgery, and gastroenterology, to provide comprehensive care to patients. Training programs may emphasize the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration and provide opportunities for residents to participate in interdisciplinary conferences and tumour boards.

  • Vascular and Endovascular Interventionist: This sub-branch involves procedures related to blood vessels, both arteries and veins.
  • Neurointerventional Radiologist: Neurointerventional radiologists focus on conditions of the central nervous system, particularly the brain and spine.
  • Interventional Oncologist: This subspecialty addresses cancer-related procedures. Interventional oncologists use techniques like chemoembolization (delivering chemotherapy directly to a tumor), radiofrequency ablation (destroying tumors with heat), and cryoablation (freezing and destroying cancer cells).
  • Many other specializations are Gastrointestinal and Genitourinary Interventionist, Musculoskeletal Interventionist, Pain Management and Spinal Interventionist & Pediatric Interventional Radiologist.
