Interventional Radiology

Minimally Invasive, Image-Guided Radiology

Interventional radiology is a specialized area within radiology. Interventional radiologists use medical imaging to guide minimally invasive surgical procedures that diagnose, treat, and cure gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, genitourinary, pulmonary, and musculoskeletal diseases. 

Through X-rays, PET/CT scans, ultrasounds, MRIs, and other imaging techniques, radiologists guide catheters and needles through the body to treat diseases at their source. These procedures are less invasive than open surgery resulting in faster recovery, less discomfort, and fewer complications.
