Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interventional radiology involves therapeutic or diagnostic procedures performed by a radiologist, typically under the guidance of CT or other imaging techniques.

Answer: B
 Computed tomography (CT) scans often provide guidance for interventional radiology procedures, such as needle biopsy or abscess drainage.

Note: The other diagnostic techniques listed (nuclear medicine, contrast studies, lymphoscintigraphy, magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography) do not necessarily involve interventional radiology procedures.
