Course Overview

Interventional Radiology (IR) has rapidly transformed into one of the most dynamic, high-impact specialties in modern medicine. What once required open surgery can now often be treated through image-guided, minimally invasive procedures that reduce complications, shorten recovery time, and significantly improve patient outcomes. As India faces rising burdens of cancer, vascular disease, trauma and chronic conditions, the demand for skilled interventional radiologists is growing faster than ever.

The Fellowship in Interventional Radiology at HCG is designed for clinicians who aim to master image-guided therapeutic procedures across oncology, vascular medicine, pain management and emergency care. The program blends advanced imaging expertise with hands-on procedural training, enabling fellows to develop exceptional precision, confidence and clinical judgment in real-world high-acuity settings.

Fellows receive immersive exposure to a wide spectrum of interventions, oncological embolizations, radiofrequency ablation, chemoports, vascular access, image-guided biopsies, drainages, palliative procedures and emergency interventions. Under the mentorship of leading interventional radiologists, learners refine decision-making, procedural planning and peri-procedure management while developing a deep understanding of cross-disciplinary collaboration.

At HCG, a center known for its technological leadership and high procedural volumes, fellows gain access to advanced cath labs, hybrid ORs, cone-beam CT and cutting-edge imaging systems. With integrated academic training and clinical research opportunities, this fellowship prepares clinicians to become future-ready interventional specialists delivering targeted, minimally invasive care.

This fellowship helps clinicians innovate at the intersection of imaging, precision and therapy. ultimately improving outcomes and elevating patient quality of life.

Why This Fellowship Matters

  • Rapid Global Expansion of IR: Interventional radiology is now central to oncological treatment, vascular care, trauma management, and organ-saving therapies, driving global demand for trained specialists.
  • Minimally Invasive Revolution: IR procedures deliver shorter hospital stays, fewer complications, and faster recovery, making IR a cornerstone of modern patient-centered care.
  • Skill Gap in India: Despite rising clinical need, structured IR training programs remain limited. This fellowship helps bridge that gap with comprehensive exposure.
  • The HCG Advantage: HCG’s high-volume practice, advanced technology ecosystem, and multidisciplinary framework provide unmatched training depth and clinical variety.

Fellowship Highlights

  • Comprehensive Interventional Training: Exposure to oncological, vascular, hepatobiliary, renal, musculoskeletal and emergency interventions.
  • Hands-On Procedural Experience: Active participation in image-guided therapies; embolization, ablation, angioplasty, stenting, biopsies, drainages and palliative interventions.
  • Expert Mentorship: Training under senior interventional radiologists and multidisciplinary specialists.
  • Advanced Imaging Systems: Hands-on learning with fluoroscopy, CT guidance, ultrasound, cone-beam CT and hybrid operating setups.
  • Multidisciplinary Engagement: Work closely with oncology, vascular surgery, gastroenterology, urology, and emergency teams.
  • Academic & Research Exposure: Opportunities to present cases, contribute to IR research, and publish in national/international journals.
  • Career Advancement: Build a robust skillset aligned with global standards, opening pathways to top-tier IR centers worldwide.
