What radiology professionals should know about what patients, parents and carers would like to know
Erik Briers, Hasselt / Belgium
Learning Objectives
1. To appreciate that patients, parents, and carers seek answers on a healthcare issue.
2. To learn that they seek a personalised approach to them and their medical problem.
3. To understand that they have very different problems but also very different capacities to understand and cope, and, therefore, need personalised communication.

Communicating with patients undergoing interventional radiology procedures
Carolina Rio Bartulos, Braunschweig / Germany
Learning Objectives
1. To appreciate the importance of clear risk and benefit communication towards patients for IR procedures not neglecting radiation exposure.
2. To learn the marked variations of patients' radiation exposure depending on intervention type.
3. To understand the usefulness of longitudinal radiation exposure observation and increase efficiency in IR procedures.
