Interventional Radiology

The description of Interventional Radiology begins with the people that make up the department. It is a collaboration of interventional radiologists, radiology nurses and radiologic technologists all highly trained to specialize in their field.

Interventional Radiology is a specialized, minimally invasive targeted treatment that has less risk, less pain and less recovery time than open surgical procedures. Interventional radiologists use their expertise in interpreting X-rays, ultrasound, MRI, CT and other diagnostic imaging studies to understand, visualize and diagnose the full scope of a disease and its pathology. This method allows the interventional radiologist to map out the procedure and tailor it to each patient's individual needs.

Using tiny instruments like catheters and wires, and steering them through blood vessels, interventional radiologists can treat a disease right at the site of the illness without the patient having to undergo the trauma of surgery.
