Chloe Cross, MD, of Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. In interventional radiology (IR), most of us quickly become accustomed to needing to explain what we do -- to other clinicians, patients, their families, and even our own families. But how do patients get their own information about IR, if at all? When a patient receives a diagnosis, they may have multiple medical specialists offering various treatment recommendations, so they may be unsure which to follow.
