Vascular & Interventional Radiology
Vascular and Interventional Radiology uses radiologic imaging in an OR type environment for the performance of invasive procedures. This modality offers the opportunity to work with Vascular and Interventional Radiologists, Vascular Surgeons, Neuro Interventional Radiologists and Neuro Surgeons at UNC Healthcare.
The procedures performed in this area span almost all of the systems of the body to include but not limited to Areteriograms, Venograms, Vascular access, Drainage procedures, Embolizations and Radio-oncological procedures. This is a progressive ever changing team environment.

The Society of Interventional Radiology is a national organization of physicians, scientists and allied health professionals dedicated to improving public health through disease management and minimally invasive, image-guided therapeutic interventions. | |
AHRA is the preeminent organization for leaders in medical imaging sciences. As the association for medical imaging management, AHRA offers a complete slate of professional development programs—including a comprehensive selection of education conferences and seminars, the AHRA Leadership Institute, networking opportunities, award-winning publications and the Certified Radiology Administrator credential. Founded in 1973, AHRA’s membership reaches across the country and around the world. Its more than 4,000 members represent management at all levels for freestanding imaging centers, hospital imaging departments and group practices. | |
The Association of Vascular and Interventional Radiographers (AVIR) is made up of interventional technologists, interventional radiology nurses, cardiovascular technologists, radiology physician assistants (RPA), vendor representatives, and other associated professionals. As an AVIR member you can keep current of new licensing requirements. You can also keep up-to-date on procedures, JCAHO requirements, interventional products, and network with other interventional technologists.For more information and a membership application be sure to visit the membership page. |

Internal and external dose assessment are related concepts. Both involve the assessment of absorbed doses to organs and tissues of the body to evalute possible biological effects. Note that we are using the term 'dose assessment' here, and not 'dosimetry'. | |
In nuclear medicine, patients are administered varying quantities of different nuclear medicine tracers to either diagnose or treat disease. For diagnostic cases, the doses are usually low - critical organs may receive of the order of 50-100 mGy (5 to 10 rad), and the effective whole body dose equivalent is considerably lower. In therapy, naturally, the doses are much higher, and cannot be well characterized in the general sense. For diagnostic agents, it is probably reasonable to apply standardized biokinetic models to the standardized phantoms and calculate dose estimates. | |
The SNM is an international scientific and professional organization founded in 1954 to promote the science, technology and practical application of nuclear medicine. Its 16,000 members are physicians, technologists and scientists specializing in the research and practice of nuclear medicine. In addition to publishing journals, newsletters and books, the Society also sponsors international meetings and workshops designed to increase the competencies of nuclear medicine practitioners and to promote new advances in the science of nuclear medicine. | |
