الوصف: There is a growing concern about the transmission of bloodborne pathogens during medical procedures amonghealth care workers and patients. Over the last three decades, radiological services have undergone many changes withthe introduction of new modalities. One of these new disciplines is interventional radiology (IR) which deals withprocedures such as arteriography, image-guided biopsies, intravascular catheter insertions, angioplasty and stentplacements. Despite these developments, the potential for accidental blood exposure and exposure to other infectiousmaterial continues to exist. Therefore, it is important for all radiologists who perform invasive procedures to observespecific recommendations for infection control. In this review, we look at the different policies for protection anduniversal standards on infection control. © 2006 Biomedical Imaging and Intervention Journal. All rights reserved.
