Abstract
The number, diversity and complexity of interventional radiological examinations have all increased markedly in recent years, and it is widely recognized that some of these procedures carry greater risks than many other radiological procedures. This Commentary uses a meeting on "Radiation Protection in Interventional Radiology" held at the British Institute of Radiology on 28 March 2007 as a template to discuss recent progress in this area, some current problems and plans for the future.Keywords
