The Division of Interventional Radiology offers a one-year training program for those who have completed a pediatric radiology or interventional radiology fellowship program.
The pediatric interventional radiology fellow will be exposed to all aspects of interventional radiology as they apply to children: the use of appropriate pediatric patient care techniques, vascular and organ access techniques using appropriately sized devices and the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of pediatric conditions.
Among the conditions frequently investigated and treated with interventional radiology are:
- pediatric vascular anomalies (hemangiomas and vascular malformations)
- renovascular hypertension
- organ transplantation
- oncologic, general pediatric and pediatric surgical conditions.
In 2005 the division moved into a new suite which includes two DSA rooms, a recovery area, examining rooms, and a clinic. The Department of Anesthesia provides coverage. Interventional radiologists at Children's Hospital Boston also have access to CT, MRI, ultrasound and conventional fluoroscopy equipment.
