What do Hospice and Palliative Medicine Radiology Physicians do?
Hospice and Palliative Medicine radiology physicians specialize in using medical imaging to improve the quality of life for patients with life-limiting illnesses by relieving symptoms and managing suffering.
They primarily work as interventional radiologists, performing minimally invasive, image-guided procedures for pain control and symptom management, such as catheter placement or ablation, and providing diagnostic imaging to guide patient care and treatment decisions.
Diagnostic Role
Interpreting imaging studies: They interpret medical images to assess disease, identify pain causes, and determine appropriate therapeutic interventions.
Guiding treatment decisions: They work with referring physicians to select the most appropriate imaging exams for patients and advise on courses of action based on imaging findings.
Therapeutic & Palliative Role (Interventional Radiology)
Minimally invasive procedures: Interventional radiologists use image guidance to perform procedures for direct symptom relief.
Pain management: They can perform radiofrequency ablation for painful bone metastases or kyphoplasty to stabilize fractured vertebrae in patients with cancer.
Drainage and access: They place tunneled catheters to drain fluids (such as pleural effusions or ascites) and perform decompressive gastrostomies for obstructions, alleviating patient discomfort.
Managing bleeding: They perform trans-arterial embolization to control uncontrolled bleeding.
Managing other symptoms: They can also perform biliary and duodenal stenting for obstructions and cryoneurolysis for pain control.
Collaboration & Goals
Interdisciplinary approach: They are integral members of hospice and palliative care teams, working with other specialists to address physical, psychological, and spiritual suffering.
Focus on quality of life: Their goal is to prevent and relieve the suffering of patients with severe, life-limiting illnesses, thereby maximizing their quality of life.
Prognostic insights: Their expertise in image interpretation provides valuable information about disease progression, helping to inform prognosis and guide care plans.
