ABSTRACT

Interventional radiology is a subspecialty of radiology that utilizes minimally invasive techniques for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Although these procedures are generally low-risk for patients, the uncertainty experienced, fear of pain, and concerns regarding the procedure may increase anxiety levels. This review examines the anxiety levels of patients undergoing interventional radiological procedures, evaluates the contributing factors, and provides recommendations for managing anxiety in this context.
