Arkansas Children's Hospital physicians Mary Beth Moore and Charles James have obtained interventional radiology training following a year of pediatric radiology fellowship. In addition, collaboration with a full team of interventional radiologists based at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences has provided a greater scope to this growing service by providing more timely pediatric introduction of techniques devised in adult patients. Two specialty nurses Pam Kuhn, RNP, and Karen Stovall, RN, provide excellent support for initial patient evaluation, post-procedural recovery, and long-term follow-up. The current pediatric radiology fellow Sadaf Bhutta is currently being trained to assist in performance of these services.

Research
In addition to clinical care, Interventional Radiology has represented Arkansas Children's Hospital at numerous national and international meetings in the past several years. Research interests include congenital vascular lesions, percutaneous cecostomy for fecal incontinence, percutaneous urinary tract stone removal, and venous interventions (PICC and venous thrombolysis).

ACH Interventional Radiology anticipates continued growth, innovation, and development of this service, which should benefit children within and well beyond the state of Arkansas.

Physicians
Dr. Charles Albert James and Dr. Mary Beth Moore are pediatric interventional radiologists at the Arkansas Children's Hospital who perform these interventional procedures.
