I am planning my 3rd year rotations right now and had a questions about radiology electives. I was planning on taking a radiology elective in 3rd year to see if I am interested in the field, but based on scheduling, I may only be able to take an interventional radiology elective.

Does it matter if I take an interventional radiology elective before a diagnostic? Will it make the elective more difficult for me to excel in? Also, would it be unlikely that I would get a feel for the field of diagnostic radiology at all from this elective?

I used the search function, but did not have any luck finding an answer to my question.
Thanks.
