Summary
Interventional radiologists report lower wellness, especially those in academic settings or under 40. Physical wellness scores were notably lower than other dimensions, indicating a need for targeted support.
Area of Science:
- Medical Specialties
- Radiology
- Occupational Health
Background:
- Interventional radiology is a demanding field.
- Physician wellness is crucial for patient care and career longevity.
- The COVID-19 pandemic may have impacted healthcare professionals' well-being.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the wellness of interventional radiologists.
- To identify factors associated with wellness in this specialty.
Main Methods:
- An anonymous 53-item survey, including the 36-item Perceived Wellness Survey (PWS), was distributed online.
- The survey assessed physical, emotional, intellectual, psychological, social, and spiritual wellness.
- Data were collected from June to September 2022.
Main Results:
- 367 interventional radiologists completed the survey.
- Wellness Composite scores were significantly lower in academic centers compared to private or hybrid practices.
- Respondents under 40 and residents reported lower emotional wellness.
- International respondents had lower social and intellectual wellness scores.
- Physical wellness subscores were significantly lower than all other subscores.
Conclusions:
- Overall self-reported wellness among interventional radiologists is lower than in previous studies.
- Practice setting, age, and geographic location are associated with varying wellness dimensions.
- Interventional radiologists in academic centers and younger practitioners require focused well-being interventions.

Description
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...

Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...
