Development of an interventional radiology practice or section depends first on the commitment and ability of the interventionalist but is also contingent on an appropriate environment. Moreover, the interventionalist must attempt to change long-standing concepts and referral patterns with aggressive dissemination of information. He or she must be an advocate of the procedures offered, as well as their benefits to the patient and the health care system. One must actively include outpatient visits and admissions as part of services offered. Allies in this effort include primary care physicians, internists, hospital administration, and third-party payers. In addition, organized radiology can now offer some assistance through the Society of Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology and the American College of Radiology. All of these factors will contribute significantly to the success of interventional radiology in both teaching and community hospital settings.
介入放射学实践或科室的发展首先取决于介入放射科医生的投入和能力，但也取决于合适的环境。此外，介入放射科医生必须通过积极传播信息来尝试改变长期以来的观念和转诊模式。他或她必须倡导所提供的程序以及它们对患者和医疗保健系统的益处。必须积极将门诊就诊和住院纳入所提供的服务之中。这项工作的盟友包括初级保健医生、内科医生、医院管理层和第三方支付方。此外，有组织的放射学现在可以通过心血管和介入放射学会以及美国放射学会提供一些帮助。所有这些因素都将对介入放射学在教学医院和社区医院环境中的成功做出重大贡献。
