A vascular laboratory (VL) can be defined as a place where physicians and technologists have a commitment to perform and interpret non-invasive testing with objective techniques that are most appropriate to the facility and the skills of the laboratory personnel. It provides the entry point for many patients as well as being the sight for diagnosis and follow up for patients with vascular disease for Interventional Radiologists (IRs). VLs may be run by a multi-specialty service, may be hospital-based, or may be private practice-based providing more of a concierge service. Resident education in the VL is essential and allows IRs to function on equal footing with other medical colleagues who see and treat similar patients from an early stage and throughout an IR's career. In this article we will discuss the IRs imperative connection to the VL.
血管实验室（VL）可以定义为医生和技术人员致力于使用最适合设施和实验室人员技能的客观技术进行和解释非侵入性测试的地方。它是许多患者的切入点，也是介入放射科医生（IR）对血管疾病患者进行诊断和随访的场所。VL 可以由多专业服务运营，也可以基于医院，也可以基于私人执业，提供更多的礼宾服务。VL 中的住院医师教育至关重要，它使 IR 能够与其他看到和治疗类似患者的医疗同事平等地合作，从早期到整个 IR 职业生涯。在本文中，我们将讨论 IR 与 VL 的必要联系。
