Pediatric Interventional Radiology

Pediatric Interventional Radiology is a specialized medical field that uses imaging techniques, like X-rays, ultrasound, and MRI, to guide minimally invasive procedures for children. Rather than making large incisions, doctors use tiny cuts to insert tools like catheters to treat various conditions, such as vascular issues or tumors. This approach often results in less pain, shorter recovery times, and reduced hospital stays compared to traditional surgery, making it particularly beneficial for young patients. The goal is to provide effective treatment while minimizing trauma to the child's body.
