Interventional radiology wires and catheters
- This is a set of commonly used Interventional radiology wires and catheters.
- These instruments are contributed by Dr. Saurabh Joshi!
- These interventional radiology wires and catheters are often asked in the practical exams as table viva.
- Handbook of Interventional Radiologic Procedures is a good reference book for IR procedures.
- Basics are also covered in Radiological Procedures - A Guideline by Bhushan Lakhkar
- More interventional radiology instruments are available here: Radiology Exam resources – RadioGyan.com
- Most of the radiology institutes do not have interventional radiology (IR) suite, hence this is a good primer for them.
- You can also browse this RadioGraphics presentation on interventional radiology wires and catheters.

Great read! Interventional radiologists take imaging technology a step further by using it to treat certain diseases and conditions. These professionals create electronic maps to guide their instruments as they insert catheters, remove malignant tissue and perform other delicate procedures. This gentle approach allows patients to recover faster and with fewer complications.
You are right Steve!
