Charles Theodore Dotter (1920-1985) was a vascular radiologist who is generally credited with developing interventional radiology.[1]. Dotter, together with his trainee Dr Melvin P. Judkins, described angioplasty in 1964.[2] He also developed liver biopsy through the jugular vein, initially in animal models[3] and in 1973 in humans.[4]
