Abstract
Setting up a vascular lab (VL) requires initial substantial capital, personnel, real-estate, and time commitment and requires support from leadership and champions. There are certain tangible building blocks for a successful VL. The more time and effort that are leant to these foundational components, the better the VL will operate. This article will discuss the preliminary measures that need to be in place for a successful VL. This article describes space, equipment, policy and procedure, structured reporting, and personnel – the tangible building blocks for a successful VL that needs advanced planning and implementation.
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.
