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.
A nice lecture on Interventional Radiology instruments:
- Also, watch this YouTube playlist for Interventional Radiology spotters and table viva questions: Radiology Practical exam Videos
- We have also collected instruments and viva images. These can be accessed on our exam resources page:
- We are preparing a blog on the basics of interventional radiology (IR) so that residents are aware of it before they chose it as a career option. Do take out some time and fill this questionnaire so that we know what are your queries and that will help make the blog better. Do share it with your radiology colleagues and friends so that we are able to answer maximum queries. Here is the questionnaire :

Radiologist at RadioGyan.com
I have completed medical school from KEM Hospital Mumbai and radiology residency from Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai. I am a board-certified radiologist in India.
I have also completed fellowships in body imaging from Mumbai and Ottawa and am currently pursuing a fellowship in cross-section imaging at McMaster University, Canada.
I have a passion for teaching and my area of interest is body imaging. I started the website, RadioGyan to share radiology resources and cases to help residents and radiologists.

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!
