Abstract
Owning and operating an Office-Based Lab (OBL) creates a unique career, combining the privilege of practicing Interventional Radiology (IR) with the creativity and excitement of running a complex business. No business is more complicated than the American Healthcare system, with a combination of necessary operational systems, government and commercial reimbursement, local and national regulations, an ever-changing landscape, and various patient populations; the business is always shifting. No field is as complex and exciting as Interventional Radiology, with advanced clinical and technical expertise, device development, rocedural ingenuity, and the ability to solve complex medical problems with elegant solutions. A sole owner and operator in an OBL has full autotomy, and thus full responsibility for the medical and business aspects of the practice.
期刊介绍：
Interventional radiology is an area of clinical diagnosis and management that is highly technique-oriented. Therefore, the format of this quarterly journal, which combines the visual impact of an atlas with the currency of a journal, lends itself perfectly to presenting the topics. Each issue is guest edited by a leader in the field and is focused on a single clinical technique or problem. The presentation is enhanced by superb illustrations and descriptive narrative outlining the steps of a particular procedure. Interventional radiologists, neuroradiologists, vascular surgeons and neurosurgeons will find this a useful addition to the clinical literature.
