What role does an INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGIST play in thyroid disorders?
An INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGIST is a minimally invasive surgeon specialist whose skill sets are ideally suited to perform image-guided procedures. This includes performing THYROID BIOPSY with ULTRASOUND GUIDANCE. When your doctor recommends that you undergo a thyroid biopsy, you should insist it be done with image-guidance, usually ULTRASOUND. No other medical professional is more experienced than an INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGIST in the use of image-guidance to perform a thyroid biopsy.
