Presenting a Patient

Abstract

Different attending physicians will prefer different forms of presentation. These variations are often based on the individual attending preference, but variations in presentation may also be commonly driven by the type of specialty or form of disease. Since interventional radiology is a clinical and procedural specialty, students and residents will likely be expected to present relevant history with pertinent negative findings, specific disease-related lab results, and key findings from diagnostic imaging and prior interventions with close attention to patient-specific anatomy and specifications of the prior tools used in treatment.
