Abstract
Interventional radiology (IR) practices take many forms, but often are distinguished
as following either an academic or private practice model. Both differences and similarities
are seen when comparing these two general practice categories, and often the line
between the two models is unclear. This article reviews some of the commonalities
and differences between academic and private practice IR, and provides personal insights
from an author who has significant experience in both practice models.
