What is Interventional Radiology?

Interventional radiology is a revolutionary field of medicine that blends the art of imaging with the science of precise, minimally-invasive treatments. These methods are used to diagnose and treat a variety of conditions by using specialized, precision devices like catheters and wires, that are carefully guided into the body through tiny incisions. These minimally invasive procedures are guided with the help of imaging equipment such as X-ray, CT and ultrasound, and in many cases, can replace the need for surgery and inpatient care.

Minimally-invasive diagnosis and treatment

Interventional radiology is truly versatile in its application. From treating life-threatening conditions like aneurysms and blood clots, to managing chronic conditions such as cancer and uterine fibroids, this field offers targeted solutions with exceptional accuracy. Our interventional radiologists use the latest techniques and advanced equipment to diagnose and treat a wide variety of conditions. These can include blocked arteries, blood clots and kidney stones, and can be used in cancer treatment to deliver medication directly to the tumor site. Needle biopsies are also performed by our interventional radiologists, these are a minimally-invasive diagnostic procedure used to gather specific tissue samples for evaluation.
Our Interventional Radiology team is dedicated to providing you the highest quality, safe and effective care, and by using interventional radiology procedures where appropriate, allowing you to benefit from less pain, and a reduced recovery time and hospital stay compared to traditional surgery.
