abstract = {Throughout the practice of procedural medicine, there is an unrelenting
shift to management by less invasive techniques such as interventional
radiology (IR). This subspecialty within radiology uses imaging to
guide needles, wires and catheters using tiny access incisions. Like
other minimally invasive techniques, risk, pain and recovery times
are reduced as compared with more invasive approaches such as open
surgery. These benefits, alongside the emergence of increasingly
novel therapeutic technologies, are driving worldwide expansion.
The core skills of IR include the Seldinger technique and the use
of imaging and touch to effectively guide needles, wires and catheters
in a wide range of procedures. Safe practice requires the operator
to respond correctly to both visual and tactile cues in vascular
angioplasty, stenting and stent-grafting, as well as control of bleeding,
biopsy, abscess drainage and catheterization of the urinary and biliary
tracts for drainage and stenting. The operator's deliberations may
then initiate and inform a range of motor actions, including very
fine translational and rotational motions, particularly in challenging
anatomy. As the spectrum of available techniques increases, so the
limited number and availability of suitably trained practitioners
becomes a factor in their restricted availability to patients. Awareness
of the need to expand IR training facilities is thus highly topical.},
