INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY

Where Imaging Meets Treatment

Interventional radiology combines advanced imaging technologies—such as X-rays, CT scans, ultrasound or MRI—with minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat a wide range of medical conditions. Our board-certified interventional radiologists offer treatments that typically result in shorter hospital stays, reduced risk of infection and shorter recovery times for patients. 

Conditions We Treat

Relief and Results

Interventional radiology is used to treat numerous conditions – from cancers and tumors to vascular diseases, pain and blood clots (such as deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism). It is also effective in treating issues affecting organs such as the liver, kidneys and uterus. By using real-time imaging to guide precision treatments, interventional radiology offers targeted care with fewer complications, reduced recovery time and often no need for traditional surgery.

Common Procedures

Healing Without Major Surgery

Common procedures in interventional radiology include:

  • Angioplasty and stenting – to open narrowed or blocked blood vessels.
  • Embolization – to stop bleeding or cut off the blood supply to a tumor.
  • Image-guided biopsies – to take tissue samples from deep within the body.
  • Drainage of abscesses or fluid collections.
  • Tumor ablation – to destroy tumors using heat (radiofrequency/microwave) or cold (cryoablation).
  • Central line or port placement – for long-term IV access.
  • Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) – to shrink uterine fibroids in women.
  • Vertebroplasty/Kyphoplasty – to treat spinal fractures.
