Patient Information Leaflets
These leaflets have been prepared by the British Society of Interventional Radiology (BSIR) and the Clinical Radiology Patients' Liaison Group (CRPLG) of the Royal College of Radiologists. They are intended as information leaflets for patients who are recommended to have any one of these specific interventional radiology procedures. They should facilitate informed debate between patients and clinical staff.
Departments are welcome to use the texts as they stand for the purposes of incorporation into their own patient information leaflets or inclusion in other information provided to patients in advance of their appointments, subject to the appropriate acknowledgement as set out below.
Those using these leaflets must satisfy themselves that the information is accurate and appropriate for the individual case. The BSIR cannot accept any legal liability arising out of their use.
