What is an interventional radiologic technologist?

An Interventional Radiologic Technologist is a healthcare professional who assists radiologists and physicians in performing minimally invasive, image-guided medical procedures. They operate imaging equipment such as fluoroscopy, CT, or ultrasound to help guide catheters, wires, and other instruments inside the body for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. These technologists play a crucial role in procedures like angiograms, stent placements, and biopsies, ensuring patient safety and high-quality imaging. Their responsibilities also include preparing patients, maintaining sterile environments, and monitoring vital signs during procedures.
