Abdominal radiology as a field has historically played an important role in the training, research, and performance of image-guided procedures. With the emphasis on increased subspecialization and the more formal and rigorous interventional radiology training programs, the question of the future of image-guided procedures within abdominal radiology is explored. A survey conducted by the Cross-Sectional Interventional Radiology Emerging Technology Commission on members of the Society of Abdominal Radiology showed that image-guided procedures are overwhelmingly being performed by abdominal radiology groups, and the vast majority of programs are training their fellows in this regard. We explore some of the challenges radiology and health care in general may face should abdominal radiologists no longer perform procedures and outline strategies departments can employ to meet the needs of both abdominal and interventional radiologists.
腹部放射学作为一个领域，在医学影像引导程序的培训、研究和实施中一直发挥着重要作用。随着对亚专科化的重视以及更正式和严格的介入放射学培训计划的出现，探讨了腹部放射学中影像引导程序的未来。横断面介入放射学新兴技术委员会对腹部放射学会成员进行的一项调查显示，影像引导程序主要由腹部放射科小组实施，绝大多数计划都在这方面培训其研究员。我们探讨了如果腹部放射科医生不再进行操作，放射科和整个医疗保健系统可能面临的一些挑战，并概述了各部门可以采用的策略，以满足腹部放射科医生和介入放射科医生的需求。
