Interventional Gastrointestinal Radiology

Interventional Gastrointestinal Radiology is a specialized branch of medicine that uses imaging techniques, like X-rays or ultrasounds, to guide minimally invasive procedures targeting issues in the digestive system. These procedures can include draining abscesses, placing feeding tubes, or treating blockages without the need for major surgery. The goal is to diagnose and treat conditions efficiently while minimizing recovery time and reducing risks associated with more invasive surgeries. Physicians in this field combine their expertise in radiology with advanced technical skills to improve patient outcomes in gastrointestinal health.
