This section is responsible for non-neurological angiographic studies; biliary, GI and GU interventions; percutaneous biopsies and drainages with fluoroscopic, sonographic and/or CT guidance; and CT and MR angiography. The section also provides interventional radiology service for the Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital. The section is staffed by 4 CAQ-accredited vascular/interventional faculty supported by a full complement of dedicated technical and nursing staff. The interventional area has state-of-the-art single and biplane digital angiographic equipment, a recovery room and facilities for short-term admissions.

This section offers a fellowship in interventional radiology. The educational mission is to develop outstanding interventional radiologists who are capable of practicing in any environment and are trained to provide the highest level of patient care. The strength of the program is the diversity of its caseload, which encompasses a large volume of both vascular and nonvascular diagnosis and intervention.
