Abstract
Subtle changes have occurred in China, and interventional radiology has gradually become an independent specialty, separated from diagnostic radiology. This has been called "Interventionalogy", "interventional medicine (IM)", or simply Intervention by our team, and "Interventional Radiology" is used no more. It has even been given the name "Third clinical Medicine" by us. Chinese intervention has established an independent association for interventional doctors, as well as independent interventional societies in many provinces. The national interventional society will likely be set up at some point in time. Chinese interve ntion has set up their own clinical wards, with much attention paid to a clinical, professional, and normalized direction for development, and established special nursing units. According to us, turf battle is meaningless. "The Third clinical Medicine" belongs to all human beings. It could also be predicted that interventional history will follow the same evolutionary rule as other disciplines, i.e., "long divided, must unite; long united, must divide".
