Interventional Radiology

Interventional radiology combines x-ray imaging and minimally invasive surgical techniques for the purpose of treating a variety of medical disorders without surgery. Interventional radiologists perform a wide variety of procedures including but not limited to angiograms, venous catheter placement, and embolizations. Procedures performed with imaging guidance have lower complication rates and quicken the recovery times.
