Image for Interventional Radiology

Interventional Radiology

Interventional Radiology is a medical specialty that uses imaging techniques, like X-rays and ultrasounds, to guide minimally invasive procedures. These procedures are often performed to diagnose or treat various conditions, such as blocking blood vessels, draining fluid, or placing stents. Instead of large incisions, interventional radiologists use small punctures, resulting in less pain, shorter recovery times, and often better outcomes for patients. This field combines advanced imaging technology with sophisticated medical techniques to provide effective treatment options that are less invasive than traditional surgery.
