Objective: We discuss three health care trends that will have a profound impact on interventional radiology (IR) in the next decade.

Conclusion: Precision medicine, representing the next frontier of medicine, will bring opportunities and challenges to the field. Significant changes in payment models may prove beneficial to the subspecialty if proactive steps are taken by its members. Finally, shifts in population demographics are predicted to increase demand for services while intensifying the need to cultivate a complementary workforce.
