Last updated on 28 Jan 2026
Overview
A Junior Consultant Interventional Radiologist is an early-career subspecialist responsible for performing minimally invasive, image-guided diagnostic and therapeutic procedures under structured supervision. This role bridges advanced fellowship training and independent interventional radiology practice.
Junior Consultant Interventional Radiologists are actively involved in vascular and non-vascular interventions, patient selection, pre-procedure planning, intra-procedural imaging guidance, post-procedure monitoring, and follow-up care. They work closely with senior interventional radiologists, surgeons, anesthesiologists, intensivists, and nursing teams. The role emphasizes procedural skill development, patient safety, multidisciplinary collaboration, and progressive autonomy in complex interventions.
Job Description
- Perform diagnostic and therapeutic procedures under radiological guidance
- Interpret imaging studies such as X rays, CT scans, and MRI scans
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to plan patient treatment strategies
- Provide on call coverage and respond to emergency radiological procedures
- Participate in clinical rounds, conferences, and case discussions
- Train and supervise residents and medical students in radiological procedures
- Stay updated with advancements in interventional radiology techniques and equipment
