Interventional Radiology

Overview

Interventional Radiology (IR) is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive medical specialty that uses real-time imaging guidance (like fluoroscopy, ultrasound, CT, and MRI) to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions. It serves as a bridge between diagnostic radiology and surgery, offering patients quicker recovery, reduced risk, and less pain. Interventional radiologists perform image-guided procedures through small incisions, making IR a critical component in multidisciplinary patient care, especially in oncology, neurology, nephrology, and vascular medicine.

Services
