About RadCall IR Reference
RadCall's interventional radiology procedure library is designed for radiology residents, fellows, and practicing interventional radiologists who need rapid, reliable reference before and during procedures. Content is structured around SIR consensus guidelines, distilled from peer-reviewed literature, and organized for fast review — not textbook reading.
Each guide is written to answer the questions that actually come up on the table: which calyx to target, when to upsize, how to troubleshoot a resistant wire, and what complications to watch for in the next 24 hours.
Pro subscribers also get access to community technique cards — short "How I Do It" cards authored by radiologists sharing their personal procedural approach.
