What is Interventional Radiology?
Interventional radiology (IR) is a medical specialty that performs minimally invasive treatments using radiologic imaging for procedure guidance. Interventional radiology treatments have become the primary method of care for a variety of conditions. IR treatments can offer less risk, less pain and shorter recovery time compared to surgery.
Interventional radiologists are experts at reading and interpreting x-rays, ultrasound, CTs, MRIs and other forms of medical imaging.
Interventional radiologists use x-ray, CT, MRI or other imaging guidance to navigate small instruments through blood vessels and organs to treat a variety of diseases.
Examples of treatments administered by interventional radiologists include embolization, image-guided thermal ablation, biopsy, thrombolysis, angioplasty and heart stents. These minimally invasive treatments can cure or alleviate symptoms of osteoarthritis, frozen shoulder enlarged prostate, uterine fibroids, enlarged veins, vascular disease, stroke and cancer.
