Overall Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Interventional Radiology Services: A Canadian Perspective	2020-08-30		.txt	text/plain	3620	173	39	PURPOSE: The aim of this national survey was to assess the overall impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on the provision of interventional radiology (IR) services in Canada. METHODS: An anonymous electronic survey was distributed via national and regional radiology societies, exploring (1) center information and staffing, (2) acute and on-call IR services, (3) elective IR services, (4) IR clinics, (5) multidisciplinary rounds, (6) IR training, (7) personal protection equipment (PPE), and departmental logistics. The aim of this national survey was to assess the overall impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the provision of IR services at both academic and community hospitals in Canada. The reduced provision of elective service by IR was a necessary intervention during the pandemic to ensure minimal risk to patients and staff with respect to virus transmission.	./cache/cord-342708-yimysnvx.txt	./txt/cord-342708-yimysnvx.txt
