Speakers: Sean FitzGerald and Leanne Loranger

Can a physiotherapist order a bone scan? What about a protein-rich-plasma injection?

Is there a difference between ordering interventional radiology and referring a client to a physician to see if an interventional radiology procedure is appropriate?

Do you wonder what fits within the category of interventional radiology and how that compares to the types of diagnostic images that physiotherapists can become authorized to order?

On this episode of College Conversations, Sean and Leanne discuss some of the questions we have received and issues the College has identified in relation to interventional radiology procedures.

What are the physiotherapist’s responsibilities and what should they consider if they think one of their patients could benefit from an interventional radiology procedure? Tune in to this episode to learn more!
