What is interventional radiology?
Interventional radiology is a specialized area of radiology that utilizes imaging in combination with minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and/or treat a variety of conditions.
The procedures are generally performed using needles or catheters, and the images, including CT scan, X-ray, MRI, and ultrasound, are used as a guide, enabling your doctor to perform very precise procedures while minimizing pain, recovery time, and other stress to the body.
