A member asked:
Can a diagnostic/interventional neuroradiologist give a comprehensive consultation including the evaluation of the radiological images (ct, mri) and physical evaluation? or is his/her consultation limited to the evaluation of the images only?

Absolutely. I : Absolutely. I am an interventional radiologist and perfrom many diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. I frequently see patients in my clinic and perform a comprehensive consultation. I also follow my patients after their procedure. Additionally, i spend some of my time as a diagnostic radiololgist. Most diagnostic radiologists do not perform comprehensive consulations. However, an interventional neuroradiologist will certainly see patients and perform consultations in anticipation of a possible procedure.
