Academic radiology: DR vs IR?

[alchemist123]

If I want to do academic radiology, is it better to go into DR or IR (interested in both)? I feel that DR will be more conducive to an academic career. Thoughts?

You can do academic IR or DR. Both fields will be more narrowly practiced then if you did private practice. Really hard to find 100 percent msk job in private practice for example but it is possible in academics. Likewise academic IR rarely sees cases that are shared in the private world, almost unheard of to see IR doing PAD, CLI, AAA repairs, stroke thrombectomies, carotid stents in major academic centers.

Before someone jumps on this statement there are a few exceptions.

This is an odd question. They are really, really different and either one can be done in academics or PP.
