Clinical practice guidelines implementation

THE ratification of the Practice Guideline for Interventional Clinical Practice ( 1 American College of Radiology, the American Society of Interventional and Therapeutic Neuroradiology, and the Society of Interventional RadiologyPractice Guideline for Interventional Clinical Practice. J Vasc Interv Radiol. 2005; 16: 149-155 Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (30) Google Scholar ) is a milestone for radiology. It represents the recognition by leaders of radiology that interventional radiology and interventional neuroradiology are clinical specialties. Although this has been appreciated and espoused by interventional practitioners ( 2 Dotter CT Transluminal angioplasty: a long view. Radiology. 1980; 135: 561-564 Crossref PubMed Scopus (45) Google Scholar ), recognition and acceptance by radiology is a major step that took significant work on the part of many interventionalists, including especially Drs. Curtis Lewis, Matthew Mauro, David Sacks, James Swischuk, and Michael Pentecost.
