Summary:Abstract Contracting is an important part of running the business of private practice interventional radiology. A basic knowledge of contracting is vital for the practicing interventionalist to best position him or herself to excel in private practice. Exclusive contracts are common in interventional, diagnostic, and radiology practices.

This article outlines the role of exclusive contracts in interventional practices, and describes the limitations of such contracts.
