Charles Theodore Dotter (14 June 1920 to 15 February 1985) was a pioneering American radiologist who is credited with developing interventional radiology and is commonly known as the Father of Interventional Radiology. With his trainee Melvin P. Judkins he described angioplasty in 1964, and on 16 January 1964 at Oregon Health and Science University he dilated a narrowed femoral artery in an elderly woman who had refused leg amputation. He also developed the catheter-delivered stent, a rapid X-ray roll-film magazine and transjugular liver biopsy. He chaired the Department of Diagnostic Radiology at Oregon Health Sciences University from 1952 until his death, and the Dotter Interventional Institute there is named for him.
