Abstract：
While office-based laboratories (OBLs) have been increasing in popularity, only a small proportion of the current interventional radiology (IR) workforce works in an OBL. With the relative lack of an IR presence in OBLs compared to other endovascular specialists, combined with the growth of the OBL space, the presence of IR within OBLs will likely increase in the coming years. This article addresses the value interventional radiologists (IRs) can bring to the OBL, with primary impacts being the ability to impact a larger proportion of the population than is traditionally cared for in most hospital settings, the ability to positively influence multidisciplinary care teams and the financial leverage inherent in procedural diversification not readily afforded by other specialists working in the OBL space. IR-specific pitfalls in the OBL space are also addressed, including difficulties in obtaining patient referrals, investor relationships, and group practice arrangements. Despite potential challenges, IRs have a lot to offer within the OBL space, and conversely, the OBL space provides a mechanism for IRs to increase their reach and improve career longevity.
摘要：
虽然基于办公室的实验室(OBL)越来越受欢迎，目前介入放射学(IR)工作人员中只有一小部分在OBL工作.与其他血管内专家相比，OBL中相对缺乏IR，结合OBL空间的增长，未来几年OBL中IR的存在可能会增加。本文讨论了介入放射科医生(IR)可以给OBL带来的价值，主要影响是能够影响比大多数医院环境中传统护理更大的人口比例，积极影响多学科护理团队的能力，以及程序多样化所固有的财务杠杆，而在OBL领域工作的其他专家不容易提供。还解决了OBL空间中IR特有的陷阱，包括难以获得患者转诊，投资者关系,和小组练习安排。尽管存在潜在的挑战,IRs在OBL空间内有很多东西可以提供，反过来,OBL空间为IR提供了一种机制，以增加其覆盖范围并提高职业寿命。
