Abstract:
Research is essential to the development, maintenance, and success of interventional radiology (IR) as a primary specialty. IR physicians must embrace a more sophisticated research approach toward the procedures we perform and the diseases we treat to accompany our elevated status. Identifying impactful research needs and directing a comprehensive research portfolio will anchor our position as an essential specialty within a thriving health care system. Doing so will ensure that this historic opportunity is maximized for the benefit of IR physicians, IR trainees, and, ultimately, IR patients.

Non-controlled studies, commonly employed for initial exploration, lack a control group, rendering them susceptible to biases and external influences. In contrast,...
01:26Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...
