Abstract

The interventional radiologist (IR) uses radiological image guidance to target therapy. Despite the ranges of services that IR offers to patients, it is still a mirage to many of our patients. This is as a result of lack of trained personnel, the high cost of procedures andconsumables and low knowledge among health professionals on the benefit of IR services. For many developing countries like Ghana IR is in the infantile stage and now taking off. The aim of this paper is to highlight the scope of IR services and discuss the future of this subspecialty in Ghana. This paper will sensitize health professionals on the scope of interventional radiology practice in Ghana now and the future.
