Additional Information: At Brigham and Women’s Hospital, we believe that the subspecialty of abdominal radiology should include radiologists who practice both imaging and intervention, founded and based on an organ-system, disease-focused approach that is supported by the American Committee for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). In our opinion, an organ system organization that includes both imaging and intervention aligns with the broader trends in medicine and is the best way to care for patients and achieve the goals of the subspecialty of abdominal radiology and radiology in general.
