Interventional radiology templates
These templates were prepared by the lay members of The Royal College of Radiologists and the British Society of Interventional Radiology (BSIR) with the assistance of clinical radiologists. They are intended as information for patients who are recommended to have any one of these 15 specific interventional radiology procedures, and as a starting point to aid discussions with the patient's consultant clinical radiologist, prior to obtaining informed consent.
