Objective:
The purpose of this article is to review the status of interventional radiology (IR) in India.
Conclusion:
After a few initial challenges, the specialty of interventional radiology (IR) is well established in most cities in India, where various quality procedures are now regularly performed. The national IR society, the Indian Society of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, is still new, but its collaboration with other international societies will help its progress. Education and training in IR are fast evolving in India, and as more radiologists choose IR as their career, IR is bound to progress.
